All:

I need suggestions. A clever person from time immemorial machined off the body side tenon “rings”on my Noblet. They didn’t just take off a thousandth or two. They’re way loose, so that the body wiggles and comes loose. One of them is parallel to the bore, but the one at the barrel is obviously tapered. I don’t have a lathe to replace the “rings” properly, but I need to fix them. I thought of cork, string, or super glue and grenadilla dust.

IDK if I can get cork on the parallel one (probably not enough room). The tapered one would be a pain to cork, but possible. I suspect using string would result in it working it’s way down the taper and into the cork (maybe string with shellac?) Grenadilla dust and super glue could get messy.

What do you think?
