From the "Hunting_Heritage" article in the link:

"Something you may notice at once is the hole in the buttstock. Yes, it looks a bit unusual but no, it isnt an early version of a thumbhole stock! This is a working gun for harvesting lots of waterfowl and the hole is for mounting, making it easier to fire the big bore from a small boat"

There are several more pics in the article that show the hole more clearly.


Voting for anti-gun Democrats is dumber than giving treats to a dog that shits on a Persian Rug
