Thread: Forestock Repair

Winchester 1400 fore stock has come loose. Just wondering what the strength of bedding compound is. There used to be a shoulder that the action nut,and barrel band pulled down and kept secure. It's probably close to 40 year old and over time it's worn away. When fired it moves forward. Tape is holding it in place now.
Would a compound be strong enough, or would it require some serious carpentry
