We are working on a stock adapter for the Ithaca 37. The standard stock bolts into a ferrule that extends out of the back of the receiver. This ferrule is longer on the older Ithacas than on the newer ones.

My question is, can this ferrule be removed easily from the receiver of the gun, say, with a set of channel locks or vise grips? I am wondering whether removal of the ferrule is something we can expect customers to do.

And if the ferrule can be removed, what is the thread specification for the tapped hole into which I assume it screws?
