instructions - replacing stock on and 870 with Synthetic stock

[Jekemi]

All: thanks again for your help. I think I have it figured out. I can see the two screw holes in the recoil pad and can feel the screws in the stock but it appears that the recoil pad is glued to the stock. Is that usually the case or can I just unscrew the two screws and it should just come off?

Dave I thought it was glued in there as well on mine. I would try just unscrewing them two and attempt to pull the recoil pad off by hand. Once off you should see the large screw which will remove the rear butt stock. If you don't care about the stock (I burned mine in the fireplace) then just cut the recoil pad close to where it meets the wood and then the much larger main screw which holds the butt stock to the lower receiver which you need to get to should be visible between the two that hold on the recoil pad.

Synthetic stock arrived in good shape: replaced the butt stock last evening, will do the fore stock tonight. I'll use needle nose pliers to get the nut off, since I don't have the B-20 special wrench. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again to all for the advice.
