Mr. Dudley:
Please consider one additional pic that would help prevent wood chips out of the stock head as the sear pin is removed:
As I've posted here before, a bungee cord (or surgical tubing) wrapped between the standing breech and buttplate will hold the action to the stock when the bottom plate is removed. This tension will allow removal of the sear pin and sears without allowing the action to bash around on the stock head and potentially chip off some of the old thin wood.
Once the pin and sears are out, remove the bungee cord and the action can be carefully taken from the stock. Safely as well.
Best, Kensal
