This picture shows the result of a second rate bedding job on a double barrel shotgun, a Brizilian made FIE, to be exact.
The recoil has caused a fair size piece of wood to exit the stock, which is lost, and I'm wondering what kind of a wood filler might be most suitable for making a repair.
It has to be strong, and also be able to fill the affected area so it can be contoured to the stock. Appearance is a secondary consideration here, function comes first.
After filling/fitting, I plan to "paint" the interion bedding area with JB Weld in an effort to strengthen the entire recoil lug area, hoping to prevent a re-occurance of this problem.
