Damaged Rem 700 BDL Forearm
I used some paint/epoxy remover while refinishing a stock on a
Remington 700 BDL. I thought the tip Of the forearm was painted black but it's Actually solid material which was partially Eaten by the paint/epoxy remover. Any ideas On how to fix the problem. Thanks! |

You could sand it down until the blemish goes away and sand the rest of the end cap to give it an even contour. That's the easiest solution I can think of
Without seeing it I don't know if the blemish is too deep for that to work or not

Most likely what's eaten away is just the epoxy finish on the black forend tip. Sand it off/smooth, as advised above, & refinish it. . |

The edge of the black material where it meets the
Wood has been eaten away about a sixteenth Of an inch. What about coating the end with Bedding compound and then sanding and Polishing? |

If it's that bad, it's probably easiest & cheapest to slice off the forarm tip @ the joint & make a new one. If there's a Woodworker's Warehouse or other woodworking store near you, a small block of Ebony can be had for around $20. If nothing's nearby, try online woodworking hobbyist suppliers. . |

Lots of cheap take off stocks on e-bay, gunbroker etc., where people have replaced factory stocks with aftermarket stocks. That, or use this as an excuse to get a better aftermarket stock yourself.
