Get some "Hot Stuff Glue" and glue it back on.

What they said. Use a good grade, and my advice would be to not use a thickened grade. As close as that should fit, a thin glue will bond well and not squeeze out a permanent glue line. A lot of people don't know that art woodworkers often use superglue as a finish on wood turnings. They put a light coat on a pad and pressure it against the turning. It smooths out and the mild heat generated cures the glue instantly and it takes on a nice sheen, much like an oil finish. That doesn't look like a supergloss finish. If it were me, I would use a thin SG, apply the piece and hold it in an upright position so any runs are on the inside (with masking tape added close on both sides as a block). As soon as the glue is holding, wipe off any runs, remove the tape and polish the finish all around with a soft cloth and a goodly amount of hand pressure. Use a little gunstock polish and wax to finish if needed.

Thank you all for your comments! I am a little worried that I will screw it up.
I'll try the thin set and mask it up with some blue tape. I will try to suck up the glue in a tuberculin syringe. |

You might want to practice on a scrap piece of hardwood that has very small cracks. & chips. Thin superglue is very thin and will run places you don’t expect.
Chip like that I would use a thicker grade Superglue. Put a small puddle on a jar lid etc, use a small needle, pick up a dot of glue and place it on the upright forend. Larger chip more dots. With a tweezer place the chip in place most fingers too big not precise enough. Hobby shops best source of super glues in various viscosity William |

Scott, pm me. I fix this kind of stuff all the time. I use the Hot stuff, and it works great, while remaining undetectable when finished

I have used the Satellite City cyanoacrylates for many years for repairs like this. Great stuff.

There was a chip reglued very poorly in my Knick forend when I got it; I sent it to Mark Larson and the repair disappeared. Just a suggestion in case you screw it up
