I had the thread about the AD of my Beretta. I would like to look at the mechanism before I send it off. Like some people wrote it could be debris/dirt in the firing mechanism. So I looked at the action and could not immediately see how the stock came off. Could someone tell me how the stock comes off a Beretta 686? I just didn't want to start into it "figuring it out on my own". Any Help would be appreciated.

With the barrels off.
If it has a hard buttplate, remove one screw and loosen the other. If it has a rubber recoil pad, look for two screw holes. They could be small round holes on some factory pads or could be nearly invisible cuts in the rubber that close up. For a rubber pad removal, try a #2 phillips screwdriver with some vaseline or handlotion on the screwdriver. It may be a slot screw, but more likely a phillips. Same removal as the buttplate, remove one screw and loosen the other, swing aside.
Look down in the hole and see what kind of bolt head you see. It could be a large slotted head or allen type head or hex bolt. loosen it a couple turns and give the driver tool a rap with the palm of your hand. You should see the receiver move forward a hair. Loosen another couple turns and rap it again. Remove the bolt, pull the receiver from the stock

I think it's a 6mm hex socket in the bolt. Mine is.Any tool shop will sell you a t-handle Allen wrench, Just measure the depth of the hole down to the screw to make sure it's long enough before you buy. My stock wrench is 10" long overall

BE SURE THE LEVER IS THE "CLOSED" POSITION, or you will dork up the wood.
I prefer to (UNLOADED) simply leave the barrels on. Your preference.
The bolt is a 6mm hex drive. Car parts stores have them on a 3/8" drive socket, obviously a long extension drive is the way to go.
"Gunman" makes sense. Seek council and advise of someone who has been inside a Beretta before.

Thanks for the responses. I have been working on Marlin and Winchester lever rifles and was Brain-locked on a screw through the outside in the tang area. I put a different recoil pad on the thing and was thinking it had a solid buttstock But that was several years ago.

The stock may resist coming off the receiver after the bolt has been loosened. It may require a some taps on the end of the wrench or socket extension to release - with the stock bolt a few turns into the receiver.

The bolt I the beretta should be an Allen type socket head bolt. Just a note. The bolt will not come out. It is retained in the stock once it is free from the frame.

The man is looking to clean up wood chips or other debris. Don't think he needs a gun mechanic for that part.
