If its the butt swivel thats a problem, you can epoxy in a piece of plastic tube like out of a ball point pen, or very small straw, then reseat your swivel stud once the epoxy has hardened. No need to redrill new holes etc, a bit of clever thinking, some epoxy, or araldite, and you can use the existing hole so it dont look all fugly.

Thank you. Will look into that. Forend is very thin so not much to work with.
