That inlay was originally horn, I am pretty sure all of those vee shaped inlays on Ballard forearms, and pistol grip stocks along with the forend caps were horn.

Horn sounds right. Is that horn?

Westerner,
Maybe someone damage the stock somehow at the ramrod hole and repaired it with an inlay.

I think you're right, Tom. Looked inside and see bedding compound. Looks sorta like Microbed. Would still like to see other Pacifics with the inlay.
