I see alot of folks asking about yanking and installing stocks, its been a long time since I used a regular screwdriver (which you can), but frankly I find these better:

If you have a ratchet, and an extension try making up some of the spanner ends for the forend nut, they aren't that hard to make, and a few bucks for a CDN tire socket and a few minutes with a grinder and a zip disk is cheaper than the factory tool.
For the butt stocks I used to use a 3/8th drag link bit (worked on Lee Enfields also) but lost my old one. A little digging around and I found this 1/2 inch 14mm bit, which I filed down.
The ratchets I always found easier and quicker than screwdrivers with crap-azz ends. (the yellow paint is just to remind me what they are for)
YMMV
 
One time I was in a pinch and needed to tighten up the fore end nut on my Wingmaster, I didn't have much of anything as far as tools went but I did have a claw hammer, the claw fit in to the grooves and I was able to use it to tighten the nut. Not the greatest by any means but it worked in a pinch. :)

X2. Used an old Estwing claw hammer many times before simply adding the take-down tool to a Brownells order a few years back.
