I've been shooting this double barrel shotgun since 1977 and today after cleaning it decided to add a ramrod retaining pin. I haven't had any real problems up to this point but thought it would be a nice detail. I drilled a .060" hole in the under rib and tapped a short piece of .062" rod into it. Then polished it down to .050" with a tiny bevel. The rod snaps into place and a light lifting comes free to with draw. Maybe some one else will find value in this idea.
