Off center Synthetic forearm fix

[Canuck Bob]

My new Hornet has an off center forearm.  Thr right side of the channel pushes on the barrel full length.  The left side has a gap of course.  I pulled the rear sight and fit the forearm on the upper barrel to check its fit, it is ok.
 
I read the FAQs and think repositioning the screw hole is the likely fix.  There is no thread on this problem for the plastic stocks.  My major question is the effectivness of epoxy bedding compounds in the plastic stock.  I'm thinking of relieving the hole and filling it with epoxy bedding stuff then redrilling the screw hole.  Or using epoxy to bush around the lug to keep the fit tight once the forearm is centered. Suggestions?
 
Is there a product that would adhere well as a gap filler on this type of plastic?
 
As a Canadian I will check warranty first but it usually is less than acceptable up here.  Anyone have any experience with Canadian warranty?

If you know somebody nearby that has a Handi, ya might want to try their foreend for fit before doing anything else.

you might try JB weld might work.but try it on another handy to see how it fits first that was already stated.

I used a Bondo Epoxy for plastic bumpers.  First the hole was enlarged grooved with a small file and sanded with 180 grit.  I cleaned the forearm very well and placed a short cut bolt in the threaded lug.  Then the forearm was centered by wrapping the barrel with electrical tape.  I used boot polish as a release and assembled the forearm.  It was held in place with wraps of electrical tape while pressure toward the action was applied.
 
Once hardened I redrilled the bolt hole and countersunk it till the bolt sat right.  Worked out just fine.  I'll report any long term failure of adhesion.
 
I'm going to reline the hinge bearing surface now because it was so succesful.  The forearm flexs side to side a bit as I expected but is centered now.  I think RTV bedding will be tried on the forearm tip because i don't like movement in parts.  The rifle locks up rigid and gapless still and the hinge is only a touch looser in feel.
 
These rifles are as much fun to tweak as they are to shoot.  Is this the beginning symptoms of the dreaded Handiholic condition?
