Yes. Give that a try. Quick question-does there appear to be a hinge at the very lower edge of the opening lever, when the action is closed? That nails it as a P model, and the breech comes off, but, requires tools. And expertise.
If you think it is a V model, proceed. Once it pops free of the axle, be careful sliding the breech off, it has sharp edges, and can cut you or marr the stock. You will have to manipulate the lever out of the slot after it is free, to slide the breech off.
You have good screw drivers, right?
Best,
Ted
