Gents,
The sling comes in handy handling two pointing dogs. Dogs must have some kind of sixth sense because wherever you lay your (unloaded) gun down they will shake muddy water all over it and then stomp on it.
The dowel fix is of course the preferred method from my googling (and only method if it had pulled out, Midway has a video on it I found) but my thoughts were exactly as expressed that eventually (maybe in another 66 years?) it would loosen again.
Recoil Rob, one question on the epoxy method: do you time the screw exactly as it should end up, or back off an eighth or quarter turn and snug it up after it sets up?
I'll admit for the reasons Stan expressed that I am leaning towards his method, but I like the elegance (and reversibility) of the epoxy casting approach. Thank you all for the feedback.
Bruce
