Default Parker reproduction woe

A hunting buddy of mine has a Parker reproduction 12 gauge whose underlug has completely come loose and is now a separate piece. I have not seen it but he says it appears to have been glued in and not brazed or soldered! Anyway, it is out and needs a proper repair. Any ideas?

You might want to give Briley a call.

He did and I'm not sure he is still alive for I know he was sick for a while.
