Fixing the Draws on a No4?

[Rwsgunsmithing]

Okay, I have no4 I'm trying to restore and the draws are not making contact. I would like to keep the rifle NRA legal for vintage sniper match's so as far as I can tell using epoxy or bedding the rifle is not allowed.

I read Peters article on replacing the draw area with new wood. My problem with it is the dowl pin that is drilled clear through the stock. I don't want to alter the outside appearance any.

So my question is has anyone had any luck with just using epoxy to hold the replacement wood in place? I also might be able to epoxy a small pin, nail or even maybe a screw from the inside at a angle to help hold it in place if needed.
