Thread title says it all...how do you get that puppy off?

Removal of the original stock involved saws, a hammer and wood chisels. I'm hoping for a little less collateral damage on this operation. Thanks.

LMAO I am having the same problem with my folding stock... I want it OFF for a project, and it's not budging (the main screw).... I hate that bolt! Looks like the impact gun may be my only option...time to buy a bit.

I am also trying to remove the rear sight? Have you removed the rear one? if so, could you share how? thanks!
 
You need to drive the two pins out that are through the bottom of the FSB. Make sure the FSB is solidly supported and to use a big enough hammer.

Use a punch or screwdriver to depress the spring visible in the notch at the front edge of the sight leaf. Pull the leaf rearwards to remove.

THANKS! I figured it had something to do with it...I mean the guys at the CZ factory couldn't have had that hard a time putting it IN lol

Thanks!
 
Thanks, Stevo. I thought that was the way, but I guess that I was too gentle with it the first time, i.e. a little hammer. The sight is off now, thanks again.
