Superglue for sure. Well, it was just one of those things. My poor old dear departed Dad left me his VH which started this new full time pastime in my life. Some will know I had a barrel failure in that gun in 2003. I searched for barrels and ended up keeping several "dogs" and learning from them but never got a set of barrels that just dropped in. Fast forward to 2015 and I now have barrels. Dad's VH was like Murphy's DH in a bag that could become a gun again. Well, I had the stock sitting on top of a gun safe and somehow knocked it off and it hit cement. So, I now have Dad's VH 145522 wearing 14444 barrels. This particular DHBP is in my childhood memory bank and so it must somehow become whole again. It did have a chip missing from the toe for as long as I can remember but it was never like this. We'll see how it goes. I do have a couple of those plastic ones but they won't end up on Dad's gun. Cheers, Jack

Jack,
I am NOT a gunsmith nor anything even close to it, but I can tell you some of the new epoxies are unbelievably strong and easy to use. Just my 2 cents. I would, however, defer to the experts. Steve |

I remember an old thread on this topic so I went looking. This isn't quite what I remember reading (but then again..... old guy) but it does address a fix for this.
