Yes! I've bedded barrels with both the gel...which is kinda the consistency of soft butter...and the liquid. Way easier to use the gel version. Have had great results with Acraglas. Had one kit that came with a rather poor barrel inlet...too wide in some spots. Colored Acraglas gel bedded and it's completely unnoticable.
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.
 
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.
 
If you can not get the barrel out after using Acraglass, stick the whole rifle in the freezer and it will come apart.

Depending where you live, you might be able to just to put it outside for a while this time of year.
 
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.
