yes sorry depends on finish, but again you should be able to do that, the problem will come when re-matching,

Undo the two woodscrews on the underside of the trigger guard tang, then unscrew the guard (it is threaded at the front end were it attaches to the action base).

After the trigger guard is removed it will reveal a machine screw slot head going upwards, remove this. (the little circle of metal behind the safety catch in the top tang

is the other end of this screw).

Then push the top lever across and undo the larger downwards machine screw (bolt) slot head which was partly covered, assuming this plays ball and comes out you will

then be able to remove the stock from the metal work. To re-assemble reverse the above.

A tip is make sure you have a screwdriver blade that fits 'exactly' into the stock bolt slots, these are notoriously hard to undo especially on an old gun that has never

been apart before, as a bit of damp can get at the screw interface and seize them together.

If it won't budge don't continue, forget the stock removal you'll only end up breaking something.

Sorry Andy I have just seen your post! I can get all the screws out no problem but the stock moves a bit but won't come off. I guess I will have to work with it on!
