Took the gun to the club yesterday and shot a couple of rounds or trap. Carried it in a take down case as I always do. Today I started to clean it up and put it away, and I can't get the forend on. It just feels like things aren't coming together right, and obviously I don't want to force anything. Sadly I haven't paid much attention to what is supposed to be where relative to putting it on; maybe this is silly but I thought maybe if I showed a pic of the forend someone could tell me if something's not where it's supposed to be?
The next issue is a crack I noticed in the forend. Pic shown; the crack is above the peak in the checkering; the mark below the peak appears to be a grain line. Is this somethig serious and should I get it taken care of before shooting it again?
