Hello out there in firearms cyberspace. Can someone let me know how to get my Model 100 Winchester apart. I have all screws out, including the one that hides inside the stock and must be acessed through the bottom of the stock. I am stuck, please help.

How far down are you trying to take it? (A) all the way down (B) Just a little

Am trying to get the action out of the stock. I have done it before but has been a while, the small piece in the very back and on top of action is what I can't get off. I can't remembe if the back tips up or the front of it tips back.'

In answer to your reply,

I think the whole unit lifts up from the front if you pull the bolt back and then lift up you should find a point where the barreled receiver will lift out
elmer.

I PM'd you the directions.

You should be aware that if you take the Winchester Model 100 apart, you will have to send it back to Winchester to have their magician put the spell back own it. And of course, since Winchester is closing, you may have to find a local witch doctor to do the deed.

Seriously, it should be done by a gunsmith who is trained and experienced with the Model 100. There are several hidden pins that will release springs that will definitely take flight and disappear.

Good luck.

The following directions are from Firearms Assembly 3, put out by the NRA.

Step 2:
To separate action from stock, remove magazine assembly, unscrew forearm swivel screw and guard screw.
Pull cocking lever all the way back and hold in this position.
Grasp forearm and push barrel up, pivoting rear of receiver against recoil block and lift action up out of stock.

Hope this info helps you!
