For stock restoration work I would use hide glue.
Now, for stock repair I would use clear acraglass. It's hard for me to tell from your images, but are there thimbles/pipes now? You should do your best to match them as close as possible. They were pinned in. BTW, there is a "restoration" class at TSJC this summer. I'm not interested because it's not the type of restoration I want to learn. I'm waiting for Wallace Gusler to teach it again.

Yes the stock nose cap is missing, actually it looks like there is half of it still there. Looks like the brass part remaining that the ramrod goes in was included in the brass cap at the end of the stock. See new pic. I am checking into guys who do antique gun work. I have emailed a couple of them. I want to leave the stock and barrel finish as is, just repair it some.
Thanks, front of stock.jpg |

That's the entry pipe. The nose cap went at the tip of the stock.
