While looking at pictures of Thaine's Newton, I noticed the long two piece tang on both rifles. Was the idea to give the rifle a shoulder for recoil? Is that the place that the stock typically splits? I don't see a need for the extra piece of tang otherwise so I must be missing something??
That is actually a piece that the rear of the receiver hooks under. These are a take down. The silver button on the floor plate allows the floor plate to drop and it is then turned to unscrew the front trigger guard "bolt". Barreled receiver then lifts up and out of the stock. If you look at the rear of my receiver picture, you can see the hook.
