Need some advice on my first lifter

Yep, can't get stock off untill the floor plate/bottom tang are removed. Can't unscrew the trigger guard with the lifter in the way. A small amount of wood is missing to allow space for the bolt to move rearward.

Robert, That was a great description on the disassembly of a lifter. One thing to remember on reassembly is to push the triggers forward as you are reinstalling the locks. This will ensure proper engagement with the sears.

Ya..It was great to see you and the wife this weekend along with the pup's

Excellent point Dave, I recall scratching my head on that one the first time I tried to reassemble a lifter! Side plates won't go flush until triggers slide under the sear, triggers will be bound up and possibly damaged if fault isn't noticed and the cross screw is tightened up.

It was great seeing all our friends from the North as well. My wife had a great time and made some new friends, (sounds like the girls had a real gabber going while we were out shooting)

It was all over way too quick, but looking forward to next year.
