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.

The tip of the entry pipe has a point that “spikes” it in place. When installing this pipe, insert the tip into the inlet first, then lightly tap the body of the pipe toward the buttplate to seat it.

Pin holes are pre-drilled in the stock and ramrod pipes. File or grind a generous taper (lead) on the pins before installing. It is best to lightly clamp the pipes in place before inserting the pins.
