Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Gunsmithing How do you remove the stock from a Browning BPS?

I have one that I plan on removing the "plastic from the stock" and need to know how to remove the stock, it would appear that I need to punch the 2 pins in the reciever and pull the trigger assembly. I seen no external screws that would indicate how to remove the stock?

Stock bolt from the rear holds it on. Buttplate/pad needs to be removed first. I have seen slotted and unslotted hex heads. Be careful around the safety as it can be a bear to reset if you mess with it.

thanks, I don't see any screws in the recoil pad, how do you remove it?

Two screws hold it on... they are buried in the rubber, but a greased #2 phillips will find the holes...

many thanks, I will get to work on it, second question how do I remove the forearm?

There are a lot of steps to getting the fore end off a BPS... There is nothing that requires slave pins or anything in the way of specific tools, but they are fairly complicated...

The trigger group must come out which releases the shell stops. Then the bolt assembly has to come out, which releases the fore end arms...
