thanxs for that mate! so i will have to take the trigger and the works of the gun off the wooded stock first?
Yep, you need to keep hold of the metal parts.
What sort of gun is it? Most modern guns on have one long bolt through the stock which is fairly easy to remove.
its a old essex side by side and im not sure it would come apart that easily as the screws look verry old. [bANNED TEXT] i took the butt pad off one just snaped.
