The hole in the bottom rib is 17" from the breech and is about 3/8 inch diameter. It is filled with solder. It looks like they drilled through the bottom rib and into both barrels. You can't see the holes looking down the barrels but when you put air on the weep hole in the lower rib it comes out the barrels as does solvent or water displacing oil.
