If you still have to finish the ramrod hole .......I would suggest get a length of rod and file the end a t a slight angle to make a cutting edge. Put a slight bend in it and run it back and forth in the existing hole to straighten it out and bring it back on center. Once you do this , you have a “hole “. ( more like a trough ) the drill can follow to the center of the stock. I’ve done this with some success. Your other option ( maybe someone else has suggested this) is to patch your breakout and continue completing the ramrod channel from the top by routing the bottom of the barrel channel , then partially filling that in and finishing it with the ramrod drill. I did this with a trade gun kit someone brought to me to put together which had the ramrod hole drilled into the barrel channel.

Just for fun, every coin has two sides. However, this is going to be a Lehigh, and I am unconcerned. Did make me chuckle, though.

Clearly, I only posted this for fun, I have been doing this, off and on, for 45 years, and, sadly, have not had every booboo yet😳 However, if I outlive the Sun, I am sure, by then, that I have seen it all.
