Gordon R Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 There may well be one under the top lever - push it to one side. There is probably one hiding under the trigger guard. That needs to come off - you will then probably see the screw that is holding the stock on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown Sauce Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 I've just removed the action from an AYA and they look very similar. I used my trusty Swiss arm pen knife tin opener, that has a thin edge to undo the screw in front of the trigger guard and you may find that the guard itself unscrews. Should then be able to remove the action. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Are you sure you have taken out the one hiding under the trigger guard? When you take the small one out from the back of the guard, pull that piece of metal out from the timber and twist the guard to one side. There is a bolt hiding under that tang, that runs vertically up through the stock, connecting to the top tang where the safety catch is. Failing that, there is the bolt at the underside of the action towards the hinge. It's usually quite a large diameter head with a narrow slot - make sure you use a screwdriver to fit this properly! These are the two that catch most people out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually quite a large diameter head with a narrow slot - make sure you use a screwdriver to fit this properly! the trigger guard is joined onto the action so i presume its the other as there are two screws underneath still in as i don't have a screwdriver thin enough and they did not look like they were holding onto the wood. do you know were i can get a very thin screwdriver from at all? These are the two that catch most people out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul T Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 Have you pulled the trigger guard to remove the rear tang from it's recess in the timber yet? Yes, the guard itself is fixed to the action, but it usually swivels about the front point (near the front trigger) once you pop out the rear tang and twist the guard. To get a thin screwdriver I just grind to fit a wide bladed one - I have a selection of thickesses for these jobs now and it doesn't damage the screw heads.

wj939 Posted January 7, 2013 Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 I got caught out by one under the safety before, had to lift and twist it to expose the screw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
