A while back I picked up a B&C durramax stock for a savage, well being the trusting person I am I did not go over it w/ a fine tooth comb and to my dismay the seller failed do disclose a major issue. The rear trigger guard screw had been stripped and he had tried to repair it w/ some sort of metal epoxy (devcon maybe). So fast forward to now I've been wanting to assemble this rifle but first I need to fix this joker's F up.
Basically I have a hole, everything has been dremeled out for an epoxy of some sort. What is suggested? I have devcon but I'm thinking that is too rigid and would chip or break as the screw is torqued. Are there any good plastic epoxy options? Something I could completely fill the void w/ and then drill a pilot hole for the screw?
For those unfamiliar w/ the savage rear screw its basically an allen head on a wood screw, almost a drywall screw.
Whats the suggestion? Or should I just take it on the chin and look for a new stock?
