I'm building a .32 caliber squirrel gun using a Pecatonica River pre carve stock. The ramrod channel was drilled by the factory, and the drill bit must be wandered. You can see where it veers into the lock mortice. When I inletted the lock the mortice ate into the ramrod channel. How do I correct this so I can get the lock in place and the ram rod without the two interfering with each other?
My thinking has me welding a rat tail file to a long piece of 5/16ths bar stock and trying to file the channel to allow the ramrod to slide past the mainsprimg of the lock. Any other suggestions?
