I also refinished my K31 stock and found it quite easy to remove all the metal components from it. The only trouble I had was removing the upper handgaurd retainer as the two pins which secure it are flared on bost sides. Pins are of soft metal so punched out easily, but had to use a leather punch to press them bak in and restore the flare. Came out great though.
