Ruger SR-22 mod. for takedown without removing top rail?

[langfordbc]

Can anybody point me in the direction of where to find out what modification (ideally with pics) I can do to my SR-22 so I can remove the receiver from the "lower" without removing the top rail? I'm sure I could sit down with the dremel and make it work but somebody else has likely figured out the most effective method. No luck for me searching here, rimfirecentral.com, or google. Thanks in advance.

Hi
I catches on the two ears where the take down screw is.if you lightly sand or work it back and forth a little it eases up and pops off easily.
Mine comes off with out any problems at all now.Once it comes off easy,Take a little blue locktite and lock down the little allen screws.
Have fun
Ken

Excellent. I randomly just checked the "rimfire" section and happened to see my old thread at the top! Thanks.
