Patching hole in McMillan forend/barrel channel

[chrisollis]

So I grabbed this McMillan with a barrel channel for a rem sendero. It was a ready to ship deal. Per McMillan I opened the channel up to accept a proof sendero with a deep socket/sand paper. There’s this tiny hole in the top end of the forend. Best way to patch this? Or is it a non issue? Kind of figured epoxy/sand again.

I did the same thing to my Stockysstocks carbon and just sealed it with epoxy. I had a bunch of boat building supplies so was on the fence about making thickened epoxy, but just went with straight epoxy and it's been holding up great.

Bondo would do the same thing.

Right on, kinda what I figured. I happen to be restoring my old bass boat so I too got plenty of that crap laying around . It wasn’t a major job and to be honest the barrel BARELY clears paper at this point, so I don’t know why that hole popped up.

Didn’t even think of bondo thanks!
