Save yourself the trouble and forget about the hole.
It is just a blind hole that was used for tooling purposes.

Dutch Schoultz said:The hole in the tang is where the rear screw of the Lyman 57 Rear aperture sight is attached to the rifle.
As my eyes went south I refitted both .45 rifles with the Lyman Rear Aperture adjustable sights. Very solid and doesn't jump about when the rifle is fired.
Some of the T/C Rifles had that same screw hole to help secure their rear aperture sight.

Dutch Schoultz said:Where is the hole in the breech plug? I am not aware of any such a thing unless it is part of the channel leading to the side of the Patent breech.44.
Anywhere else I would be inclined to leave it plugged
