Help !! Confused

Hi Guys

 

How do I remove the stock form MK38 trap the long alan key goes through the hole in the butt pad, unscrews the retaining bolt , it still solid it's a new gun so it could be that i'm being a little cautious or should I just belt the alan key .

Tighten the screw up again and then back it off just a couple of turns. Then if you smartly tap the key you won't damage the almost fully engaged threads. Nor will the action shoot forward and possibly damage the stock. If the smart tap doesn't work then take it back whence it came and ask them to do it for you for the first time.

 

On the other hand, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

Merry Christmas.

As above use your palm not a hammer.

IF you cant budge it easy enough get a little penetrating fluid in and extend the allen key with some pipe etc to gain more of a lever

I allways leave the barrels on and when the bolt is loose hold the barrels and action and start slapping the stock gently and wiggle it a bit as you pull it off. But be careful they are meant to be a snug fit.

 

When you have removed it and are doing the bolt back up, don't over do it, a nip

Is all that's needed

 

Any reason you want to remove the stock on a new gun?

If you have unscrewed the Allen key, I am not sure why you would need to tap the Allen key. If it is unscrewed - hold the action in one hand - with the stock dangling below - give the pistol grip a firm nudge with the palm of your hand. The stock should come straight off. Needless to say - make sure their is a cushion under the stock so you don't knock if off onto a hard surface.
