It can be scary when drilling into a stock that’s around 100 years old. Looks good. You did a great job. If you feel that there may be some oil in the area where you drilled the holes, just use denatured alcohol to clean out the holes.
You have a small crack at the top right edge of the butt. I would drill there also. Remember to drill just pass the depth of the crack to make sure the repair stops it.
How is the butt stock screw hole at the toe of the stock. A lot of times the wood in the hole will be soft or rotted a little. If it is, I can go over the repair.
