Need some input on disassembly of Cooey 840

[Call]

I'm undertaking the restoration of a Cooey 840 and need some input regarding disassembly.

I need to remove the stock for refinishing and I'm wondering if pulling the two pins highlighted in the photo below is how to do it.

Do I just need to bang those out to separate the stock from the metal?

It's my first restoration attempt, so thanks in advance.

Pretty sure the bolt is under the butt plate to remove the stock

If you remove the 2 screws holding on the butt plate you can access the bolt holding it on. You will need a long screwdriver or socket. Good luck.

You remove them two pins and you'll invent sum cuss'in werds.
As mentioned above, remove the two butt pad screws and pad.
There will be an access hole bored between the two screw holes.
Take a look down there.
Sometimes a flat screw driver and other times a socket.
You will need an extension of some sort.
A bore light works great to have a look see down the hole.

I love this place.
Question posted and the help pours in.
We may fight a bit, but this joint is cool!

Yep, bolt through the stock. As mentioned, you remove those pins and you'll be going to church on Sunday!

OK, sounds like I dodged the proverbial bullet by asking first, for which I am very, very grateful!

Those 840 singles were very cheaply built. Amazing none blew up and such but they did fit the bill for many a young shooter including myself. They were light, recoiled hard and generally choked tighter than a bulls a$$ in fly season. Great choice for a newbie shooter...not!! As stated above, stock bolt accessible through rear butt plate when removed. Two pins on receiver are pushed in and appear to be slightly splined to keep the friction fit tight. Stocks were made of some cheaper wood...likely some type of soft maple. they were prone to cracking at the grip area. Good luck!

I wonder where could be those press checkering plates? Pretty sure someone who was working there at the time has them at home?...

Don't know about the checkering plates but I have a set of 5 receivers showing the process from rough forge from the foundry through the various stages to the finished product.
