Stock removal
 

On a 16 ga hammer gun with top lever, how many screw do I have to take out to remove the stock? I see the top tang screw, the trigger guard screw and the large screw going from left side plate to the right side plate. Is this correct and am I missing any? thanks..

You will also need to remove the trigger plate, which is held by the screw in the bottom of the frame.

Thank you Austin! Is anything gonna happen when I remove the trigger plate?

It will be necessary to tap it out with a piece of dowel

Best, Austin

Thanks again!!!

Austin should have added to tap the plate out gently deftly carefully slowly with great caution. Make sure you have all the necessary screws removed. Tap it out through the slot in the table. If it doesn't want to move easily, which they generally do, be careful careful careful.... They are easy to bend. And do it over a towel or something so you don't lose any small parts.

That's what I'm afraid off. Small parts falling out!! Have'nt got the guts to do it yet.

There's really only one small part(with a small spring)that can fall out but it usually is gummed up enough to not fall out. Just do it over a nice thick terrycloth towel so nothing can bounce off the bench.

Oh no, not Flying springs, not good. Anyone of you guys heading down this way.

Come on Angel - bite the bullet, hold your nose and just do it. :corn:
