OK so FIRST, take a rough sharpening stone or a fine file, and round the tips of the pins. Otherwise you run a much much higher risk of knocking out a chunk of wood from the stock as you tap the pins home.
The Pedersoli parts diagram does show the pins, but they are not drawn well. I have simplified the drawing for you.
The smallest of all the pins is the barrel pin that is closest to the muzzle.
The next pin should be the screw for the forward sling swivel, and it should run through a barrel lug. HOWEVER, sometimes this is not the case, and there is a barrel pin slightly longer than the first pin, that is used for the barrel lug instead of the sling swivel.
The next pin is between the stock swell and the forward sling swivel
The final pin is the LONGEST pin in the entire musket, and it fits in the lug between the stock swell and the lock. You can actually see a tiny dot where the pin goes in the illustration.
When you insert the pin, you may have to use your hand to squeeze the stock against the barrel to help the pin find the hole in the barrel tennon. I use a very light jeweler's hammer to tap them into place, with a small punch to tap them flush with the stock exterior.
I hope this helps
