tomburras 2,730 Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 From memory there is a grub screw on top of the scope rail remove it and the tray slides back revealing the barrel/block screw. The second barrel block screw is under a blanking plug near the back of the scope rail. The tray then slides out of the back. I hope this makes sense! If the tray is stuck spray it with wd40 and give the back a few taps and bang the rear on the carpeted floor to hopefully to shock it free. That' how I got mine out. 1 Quote Link to post

Jonjon79 13,358 Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 I'll be interested to hear how you get on Maxwell I've got an FN12 but, I'm not brave enough to strip it - I've been told that they're fairly simple but, working on springers is my limit. Quote Link to post

It's his old FN12 that I now own. Bung me a pm if you want his details Quote Link to post
