    Forestock Repair

    Winchester 1400 fore stock has come loose. Just wondering what the strength of bedding compound is. There used to be a shoulder that the action nut,and barrel band pulled down and kept secure. It's probably close to 40 year old and over time it's worn away. When fired it moves forward. Tape is holding it in place now.
    Would a compound be strong enough, or would it require some serious carpentry

    The wood is fairly heavily impregnated with oil etc, so I'm thinking it will require extensive degreasing. I'll try and find the specs and instructions for that stuff.
    Its on a shotgun for those that didn't know, so theres no action screws as such, just the big nut at the end of the magazine tube. It only had about a 3-4 mm shoulder which has worn away

    Thanks for that. You make it sound easy. I guess if I stuff up, I'll just grind it out and have another crack at it. Much better solution than throwing a couple of bolts through in the right place

    Carpet stain remover gets the oil stains out of teak so should work on a stock. Spray and walk away. Wait for it to dry and reapply if needed.
