iirc the barrel band is what keeps the handguard in place, you should have tightened it

>>32494584
So who de-sportered it?

>>32494602
I mean, it wasn't just the handguard. It was also the front lower half of the stock

>>32494584
Duffle cut. Clean off the wood glue from the dowels as best you can, and buy some good epoxy like Acraglas (Brownells sells it). That should hold.

It was never a spotter to start with to my knowledge

>here's the only group it shot. 100 yards with lc ball ammunition

That spot is the most common area to cut for making a sporter rifle. Also called a duffle cut it was sometimes done to make the stock shorter when trasporting home.
Whoever repaired it did a fairly shot job of it by doing the easiest thing.

Fuck, that's depressing

Bump with grouping

The good news is that the sort of duffle cut made is easy to repair. See >>32494686

But really, if you use acraglas on those dowels and the cut surfaces, it will hold together just fine.

Alrighty, here's where we are now

>>32495958
You're in much better shape than my 1903, OP.

Someone duffel cut it, covered it up with the upper sling swivel/lower barrel band (i don't know the proper name, but it's the same shit), oversized the dowel holes, undersized the dowels, and overglued the absolute shit out of it.

The fore end of the stock doesn't mate with the aft, literally can't hold itself together for more than one shot (actually, I don't trust it at one shot), and there's at least a weekend or three of work involved if I do it the right way.

I'm debating just buying a new stock and foregoing the work, but something tells me I'll regret not fixing it.

Jc Higgins model 20 12gauge spits out rounds from the tube when it's racked / when the trigger is pulled, sometimes

This. You can use brass rods too. Epoxy will hold brass to wood just fine. Your sling ain't gonna last too much longer either...

Derp. Forgot pic.

And yeah, it happened to me the same way it happened to you, only at 2 rounds, not 3.
