But the forend has close to 1/8" up and down play in the same area. Tightening the forend lug/swivel stud has no affect. Anyone here have any experience with a fix for this with maybe a shim or Acraglas in the right place. Thanks. JR Be strong, be of good courage. God bless America, long live the Republic.

I sold the gun without repairing it. But thinking about the repair I thought Acraglass in the right place, and if the Acraglass showed externally and didn’t look right send it to Mark Larson to work his magic with grain matching. I hope others come along with more suggestions.
