Mike, You need to remove the two screws holding the Buttplate in place. The Buttplate will then detach from the stock. You will notice the Stock Bolt inside the Stock. You may need to tighten the Stock Bolt with the appropriate size screwdriver. Good Luck. rogerdennis

Hehehe, he'd have been trouble if he was looking at an A-5 I've got in. Ya don't _normally_ need to take the buttplate off of one of those, but this gun...
Somebody had, believe it or not, very cleverly turned down a bolt-head to work as a retainer for the action spring, drilled out the stock and used the threaded end of the bolt as a, well...stock bolt. In a gun that doesn't _have_ a stock bolt.
And there was no visible reason to do this unless he was some sort of "suspenders AND a belt" type person. The cross-pin holes were fine (they held that bolt in place), nothing wrong with the spring tube, nothing wrong with the stock. It's almost as if it came in dis-assembled and the guy working it had never seen one before and engineered a "standard" stock-bolt arrangement. Or something.
Pretty high on my "wierd stuff" list, anyway.

Robert, Another one of the "new and improved" fixes that some guys just can't resist. Of course, this "affliction" has put a few Gunsmith Kids thru school.......
