I have switched out, made, and reinstalled many a stock shield and oval. The easiest and least intrusive way that I have found is. Heat up a 1/4 inch rod to red hot, press it to the center of the shield and add mild pressure. As the shield heats up it will sink deeper into the stock and the nails will expose the heads. Pull the nails and the shield will pop right out, without damaging the shield of the stock.
