I have an older Sako (AV model) whose stock I need to remove. The stock is held in place by two screws each having two small indents/holes. Here's a pic of the screws that I pirated off the Intraweb...What kind of screwdriver/attachment do I need to remove them, and where can I buy it? Can I "Macgyver" something that will do the job? Thanks.

There's a chance I am mistaken, but I don't think those are involved in attaching the stock....After you get the screws out from around the trigger guard and floor plate you may just have to persuade it a bit, particularly if you haven't had it off in awhile

My Sako (Late 1960's L61R) has one of those screws on the side but it doesn't attach to the receiver..not sure of its function...balancing maybe:confused:

In case I'm wrong use a pair of snap ring pliers or I thought once one of those tools to take spikes out of golf shoes might work...
 
I've yet to see a stock where you had to remove these cross bolts to remove the stock. These are usually used to strenghten the stock for recoil absorption. If you ever want to take these off - don't know why you would - I would get the proper tool to do it or have a gun smith do it

you need an adjustable pin wrench, I don't know if you need to remove, never owned a sako. you can make a substitute wrench by finding two drill bits that fit the holes fairly closely and use them to drill two holes with the same spacing as the screws your trying to remove preferably in a short length of brass or mild steel, Using the shank end of drills in the holes and care you can remove the screws. have also used hard wood for the wrench in a pinch.
Be sure what they do before doing this...
 
You needn't remove the cross bolts to take the barreled action out of the stock. If you remove the tang screw then the action screw and the action is still tight in the stock, replace the screws, put them in about 3 turns (just so they are in but not tight) and then tap each one with a plastic mallet. This will slowly seperate the stock and action.
