I was finishing up the fore end I built for my new to me Encore. I was at the third coat of finish and had just blown it off with high pressure air when I managed to drop it on the concrete floor. It hit on the left ear that covers the frame and snapped it off. Due to the figuered wood I lost a very small chip of wood. I managed to epoxy it back together but due to the shape I couldn't clamp it tight enough to completely erase the glue line. The final coat of finish is dry and I am ready to assemble the rifle. The break is not that noticeable to anyone that isn't aware of it but it sticks out like a sore thumb to me and always will. Every time I look at the gun I am going to see that repair.
