I'm stuck. I have removed the interior nut(within stock), the sliding receiver (for ease or work), removed the trigger plate, the trigger guard and any screws that seemed like they might screw into the receiver base. Still the stock will not come off. At the advise of some knowledgable French Gun owners, I have placed the receiver base in a padded vise and gently pulled on the stock. It's not giving at all. There is a little movement in the stock but not much. I'm missing something. Gonna look more closely and then sleep on it.

Carl,
A break is a good idea. Remember, do no harm.
Best,
Ted

I looked and I'm going to sleep on it. But, I have a theory. Looking into the bore hole, it looks like there might be a metal washer. It makes some sense because it would center the rod in the hole so the nut would slide on easier. But it might be creating friction and the washer might be hung up on a thread.
I'm thinking of taking a wooden dowel and try tapping on the head of the rod to see if it causes things to listen up. That's where I am tonight.
No scotch involved, have to think clearly! Maybe more to come?

Hi Gil,
Yes I am. I will strip it first, mend the crack on the stock, refinish it and then have it rechecked. Were you merely curious or do you have some thoughts?
Best, Carl Curious and admirer of the gun.

If anyone is interested, I was correct, the stock was hung up internally on the rod because the rod had a bend in it to accommodate the cast and because it had rusted a bit against the wood. The stock is being refinished and the checkering refreshed.
