Is there anything unique on it. higher wood than expected, other oddities. someone had the ability to order outside of the grades and those guns weren't grade stamped.

I just looked and the only one I have with a weep hole is an ithaca assembled gun. All of my lefever assembled guns have no weep hole, from cocking rod models all through the late large hook guns. I also pulled out a .410 lefever nitro and it has a weephole, so im guessing maybe ithaca was doing that.
