See what I have done is I found a Beavertail
wood for a 28 gauge Repro, then I mounted it on a splinter forend iron for a 28 gauge Parker Repro and it works fine but I have the hole that needs to be filled with something where the beavertail forend reinforcing rod would go. now any suggestions? ? Thanks in advance |

You'll never get it to work well..... send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you.

I was thinking ".410" which has no reinforcing rod.

Pat..the "proper" way to fill in the void of your f/e would be to shape some small pcs of walnut similar in color to your f/e and glue them in with attention to grain flow. Make sure the glued in pcs are "proud"..once glued up & cured..shape the proud areas down to match and add oil..done!
If you don't have the tools to shape etc..head to a cabinet shop who can give you a nice sized bag of sawdust..take the sawdust and mix it into a slurry with glue..lay it in..dry it up..dress it down..and add oil. First suggestion is the right way to do it but for odd shaped voids that you do not want to machine out for a proper pocket..the sawdust slurry works well. Of course bedding material would work well too (it's basically epoxy) Sure beats bondo!! |

Thanks, I do use Bill Schwartz for a lot of repairs, in fact he fitted the .410 CSMC
barells to the Parker Repro 28 gauge frame, he is master Craftsman |
