Here is one from a Lancaster rifle.
Grease and crud build up in the corners.

Guys,

Here is a grease hole from a late flintlock cherry stocked rifle.  The material in the hole is rock hard and appears to be a bees wax.

It's already there, but it looks like most of the pictures are missing. I'll repost it.

Upper Susquehanna, grease still in the box in the corners. Grease is still a bit squishy in places.
