    Looks right to me but only YOU know if it's a good tight fit. As per SSJ above. Make sure that the fore-end is degreased as best you can too

    I suppose everyone has their own technique. I use a micro blowtorch to carefully heat up the wood. This causes the oil to bubble out, and then it can be mopped up with some tissue paper. You can singe the wood a bit, but the resulting surface is quite dry and gives a very good adhesive bond.
