See it is cracked a bit, it also cracked under the recoil lug, but i figured that wasn't a drama as I taped for a gap on the underside

Mate that doesn't look too bad and it looks like it's in a position where you could put a little epoxy into it and not have a problem with air locking but it doesn't look too bad if it doesn't move then I would give it a go but that's entirely up to you
Just tidy any loose stuff up with a dremmal or drill before putting any epoxy in if you decide to

you dont want contact under the lug anyway :wtf:
this can be avoided by not having 90 degree angles on the job
I have to go out and cull some roo's now and dont have the time to try and explain but I would not be worrying about it as long as the rear is ok :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: Trim off the dags of extruded Devcon and test the bedding for rock at the tang and fore end tip. If it checks out OK, shoot It
