Hi all. I have a trigger kit to put in this gun, but don't know how to remove the action from the stock. Can anyone help me out? Thank you.

Remove the large screw in the bottom of the stock, by itself, in front of the magazine well, toward the forearm. Also, the front screw of the trigger guard. The action should lift out.

JMO, but if you need help getting the stock off, you might want to have a gunsmith do the trigger conversion - or at least safety check it when you're done.
