I turkey hunt with a batavia leader. Although in nice condition with lots of color, its not a high end shotgun. BUT, it fits me to a tee and shoots where I'm looking. With those marvelous long chokes. I noticed the safety is getting hard to put on and take off, so thought a little maintenance in that area is called for. Assume I have to take the butt stock off given the location of the safety, but that is an assumption only, and I need advice on how to take the stock off. I have the trigger guard screw and the one under it out already. What's next?

Charlie

thanks

Make sure the locks are cocked and remove the screws(3) holding them in, gently tap the action on a soft surface and the locks will fall out. Then remove the screw under the top lever. Might be more that is what I can see from google images.

thanks Steve.

I've owned a couple LCSmiths but never been in a sidelock before.

Got the trigger guard off, the locks out, screw under the top lever out, but the stock would not come off. It loosened up quite a bit, but felt like something was still holding it to the frame/trigger plate. Closed the top lever and the safety seemed to be working much better. With the locks off, I could get a little oil to the under side of the safety and it is working well now. Thanks for your help. I am now a side lock mechanic expert.
