Could not stand it anymore and pulled off the forend tip.
It looked like it was repaired at least a couple times. When the tip was first installed the was a small hole in the tip to let air and glue escape. The next time it was glued without anyplace for the air or glue to go so the tip would not seat flush. It filled a space with glue between the tip and stock which dried out and got loose. Then a couple of holes were drilled (badly) and pins driven in. You can see the layer of dried glue on the stock side.
