ramrod fitting

Do not drill the stock, as this will likely ruin it. The stock hole is the proper size, but the ramrods are intentionally slightly oversized and meant to be tapered for the section that goes into the stock. Sand the ramrod down aggressively starting with coarse sandpaper and working to finer grits. This standard process should only take about 15 minutes.
