Purchased this A&D that has been rode hard.
No name on action exterior. Rebarreled and barrels carry name of shop that did the barrel work.

Attempting to remove buttstock as part of a detail strip and clean.

Pivoting top lever w/ sliding bolt.
Have removed floor plate, trigger guard, top lever and sear axle pin.

Unable to remove trigger plate and triggers.

There are screws in front of the triggers(floor plate is separate) and at the rear under the guard tang.
What is NOT visible is the typical screw under the top lever.
It may be concealed by the sliding top bolt, but the bolt is also not obviously removable.

Yes, pictures will be forthcoming as time allows, but wanted to ask the question while I had the chance.

Suggested books? YouTube videos?

Thank you.

Just a wild guess that it could have a draw bolt in the stock?

No access under the butt plate.

Were draw bolts even in use in the 1870 & 80s?

No pics yet, have not been in my shop at all today.
