Default Merkel 47E questions

Hello All. I've been tinkering with my 47E and have been using it as my primary clays gun with great results. I'm looking at a general cleaning of the internals to try to lighten up the double triggers pull weight. both are noticeably above 5 lbs and really want them at 4 or so. I've done similar cleanings on several other makes with good results. They all had thru bolt set ups.
I ran into a snag trying to fully remove the stock. It does not have thru bolt set up. I made screw drivers to fit the fine cut slots on the screws and managed to get the stock loose and easily slide back 3/8 or so but not off. Did a spray cleaning as best I could. No real improvement. Guessing I need to remove stock off all the way and scrub internals. Any Ideas?. thanks,
Mattly
