No question that J B Weld would put it all back together. But, without painting the whole thing the colors and texture wouldn't match. This coming from someone who buys the stuff in the large size.

I also mess around with boats a lot. I acquired a Tohatsu 40 hp two-stroke about a year ago. They're highly sought after for racing in certain classes (Sport C, for one) because of their awesome weight to horsepower ratio. Since they're no longer sold in the USA I decided to resto one. The rear cowl handle was busted out on a corner, with a piece missing. I repaired it with JBW and shaped everything back to original shape and specs. Easy stuff to use, but matching the texture and color is the real trick. In this particular case I think a replacement of the buttplate is a better option.

Before, and after, with a "dam' made out of blue painter's tape.

Admittedly, this has nothing to do with doubleguns unless I take the boat duck hunting, with a double. But, it is an example of what can be done with plastics/bakelite, etc. and J B Weld.
