Is this touchhole too forward from the back of the plug? I've never messed with these types of hook plugs before. I was given this stock and I was unsure of what plug it was initially inletted for. I made due with a 1 1/8 inch hooked plug from muzzleloader builders supply. The red dot is where the touchhole would be placed and the red line is the back of the plug
I also need to figure out what to fill this gap in the tang with. I have a small section of wood, about 3 x 2 x 1 inch i removed from the front of the stock to shape the nose cap that i could cut into thin pieces and try to wedge them into the gaps. I could also just use a piece of maple and shape it into the correct size and shape of the gap or just fill it with acraglass.
