I recently acquired a 1950s vintage Rem 760 chambered in .300 Savage. Rifle's in very good condition for its age, but I would like to disassemble the rifle for a thorough cleaning and lube. I suspect it's been many years since the corncob forend was removed, if ever. There is no screw at the end for removal. There is a drift pin near the very end of the magazine tube and through-and-through holes in the mag tube just ahead of the forend when the action is open.

Could someone educate as to how I remove the forend and mag tube? The bolt/trigger group removal I can handle. Do I remove that drift pin? If so, then what?

Thanks. Dave
