Using the "regular" stuff is like trying to control a runny nose on a sub-freezing day. I guess it can be done but not by me.

I wonder if chewing gum and cat hair would work as modern alternative?
I think it is the best bedding compound out there at the moment. But then again I am biased since I used to make it. Muzzleloader Builder's Supply sure sells a lot of it so somebody is using it on muzzleloaders.

Someone else mentioned probed 2000. That's all I've used, but for a bolt rifle. I think it would be overkill for a ML barrel channel.
Honestly, devcon would be too. I'd just use whatever is cheapest. Maybe acraglas since you can dye it.

If he embeds some fiberglass in there and does the same on the ramrod side that would be one very strong forestock. I've never heard of a gun builder doing it, but boat makers and surfboard makers can attest to how strong a fiberglass sandwich is.
I’ve used Devcon on those rifles we can’t mention here. It works great, easy to use, but the downside would be its grey color. On a flintlock it would really out of place.

I always thought that maybe some hide glue and sawdust might have found it's way back in the day.
If you plan to use it in international competition, the use of most of the modern solutions will disqualify the weapon.
