I would plug the hole in the rib with pin held in place by locktight, but solder would work, just not very pretty. For the buttstock I would turn a piece of similar color walnut slightly oversize in a lathe and taper the leading edge as well. The season for turning a dowel as opposed to buying one is you can get the correct grain flow to best match. Use white glue as it is the least visible.
