The ramrod pipes should fit with little to no wood removal. Install them in the inlet and check the fit. If any interference is noted, spot it using transfer color and remove wood where necessary.

Pin holes are pre-drilled in the stock and ramrod pipes. File or grind a generous taper (lead) on the pins before installing.
