My old Mossberg bolt action shotty pictured in the "Show us your shotgun" thread is bedded into the homemade stock with fibre glass resin. Vaseline was used as a release agent. She's fired a lot of shots in the twenty years since it was done and still going strong.
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

I haven't done it yet but was looking into compounds for one of mine, JB weld gets a good write up when done right but the liquidity put me off it.

Seems like a real easy one to get somewhere it shouldn't and cock the job. Maybe not one for first-timers.

Another handy use for my Devcon titanium steel. :thumbsup: Bike fell over and knocked a hole in my stator cover. :oops:
