Deekay, you could do worse than follow along to Bobby's advice. He knows a lot more than just how to get the stock off. And incidentally, there's yet another potential escapee from this procedure: the safety pushrod in a boring in the left stock cheek. It's easy to reproduce if you know the dimensions; not so easy if you don't see it and it gets away. Some guys like to remove it to achieve a manual safety. Loosing it is one way to accomplish this result but not the best. I see now Drew has that covered also.
