So I grabbed this McMillan with a barrel channel for a rem sendero. It was a ready to ship deal. Per McMillan I opened the channel up to accept a proof sendero with a deep socket/sand paper. There’s this tiny hole in the top end of the forend. Best way to patch this? Or is it a non issue? Kind of figured epoxy/sand again.

I did the same thing to my Stockysstocks carbon and just sealed it with epoxy. I had a bunch of boat building supplies so was on the fence about making thickened epoxy, but just went with straight epoxy and it's been holding up great.
Right on, kinda what I figured. I happen to be restoring my old bass boat so I too got plenty of that crap laying around 😂. It wasn’t a major job and to be honest the barrel BARELY clears paper at this point, so I don’t know why that hole popped up.
