Warped forestock

[Am Fear Liath Mòr]

I had to leave in a hurry one day and forgot put the barrel back into the stock, we had a solid month of rain, now the forestock on my stock blank is warped. The breech is tight against the bottom of the channel the muzzle lifts up and to the right (if looking at it from from the butt of the gun) I can get the barrel into the channel but it has to be secured in a few places.

With that said will forcing the stock and the barrel together affect the accuracy? It's a .75 octagon to round smoothbore barrel.

It shouldn’t. If you have an old tea kettle you can stream the fore stock with the barrel in place and when cool your warp should be gone. Or plug you touch hole and fill your barrel with boiling water and wrap hot moist towels around it for ten min os so.
Or just pin it back in and it probably won’t effect.

Put barrel in place and set over a humidifier, it will form to barrel. I just done that and it worked just fine. Clamp it to barrel then let sit, removes to a drier place, leave clamps on and you are good to go.
