I have just acquired a model 52 pre A winchester and want to disassemble the action from the stock. Action screw is out and removed the trigger guard and barrel band now Im stuck. I see the mag release goes thru the stock so how do you proceed from here. Just gettin to know this rifle and want to do a thorough cleaning.
Help!

check your email> I sent you a PDF file of the 52B manual. it is similar to the A which I can't seem to find.

Thanks for the info triggerman. I figured it out, just a little hesitant about tearing into things without a guide or schematic to see how things are supposed to be.
I have the stock cleaned and deciding whether to blue the barrel and reciever. I am missing the thumb screws on the windage adjustment of the ladder sight so I will be looking for those or possibly the whole sight as I have been told these are hard to come by. If anyone knows where to find these, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks again.
