Remove the screws from both front bands, being careful not to cross the threads. Remove the front band first. Then remove the screw from the magazine tube plug while holding the plug in place. Once the screw is out, slowly let it come out of the magazine. The spring will follow, as will the follower. Now remove the magazine, then slide the second band off the forstock, then remove the forstock from the receiver.
I hope this is what you were looking for.
