Traditions kentucky rifle build

[kerryg]

Im building my first muzzleloader which is the traditions kentucky rifle. I have a large 1/8th inch gap up at the muzzle that im trying to figure out how to fill. I was thinking about glueing in a piece of wood and carving it to match but was wondering of other opinions

Is this with the silly brass piece between the two stock halves in place?

Have you put the spacer between the two stock pieces?

My first thought was you left the spacer out between the two pieces of the stock.
