I mean on purpose. At one time is was a fairly common sight on the bench rest circuit.

I have a Model 43 Winchester project. It has been rebarreled with a heavy target barrel. Problem is they never cut the bottom of the barrel for a tenon for the front screw.
As opposed to finding a smith to do the machine work, I am considering epoxy.

Thoughts?
