So I was at silverdale yesterday and before I left I picked up a folding stock, muzzle brake, and one of the bipods that mount onto the bayonet lug. Bipod and muzzle brake were easy to put on, but I can't get the damned stock off, despite a couple hours of attempts between my friend, and fellow CGNer D_w_A, and myself. In the FAQ thread it mentions an easy out kit sold at princess auto (I dont even know of any princess auto stores in southern ontario) but I have no idea what that even is. Anyone have any tips they can give?
 
I used my car's tire iron to remove the original and attach a folder. Didn't grind the tip or anything on the tool, but that probably would have helped.
 
I used the foot long flat head screw driver with vise grip pyler's. I started out by heating up the bottom of the bolt that is located int the firing mechanism with a heat gun. This is to allow the lock tight to lossen up but remeber to cover the crap of the rest of the internals with heat restent grese. Then with the foot long flat head I contected the vise grip to it and gave it a few good tugs back and forth. Once I heard a "snap" sound I then just used the flat head to unscrew it the rest of the way and cleaned the grese up. I also have one reconmendation for you mounting another stock to the end of it and this is to use the red lock tight. I have tried everything and always with extended use or cleaning the internals after a while everything came off except the red lock tight meathod.
Happy Shooting...
& don't froget to post pics!

Go back to the dale they have the tools to help you on the spot
 
A friend, in Ontario, used a sledgehammer to smash up the stock. The bolt was then easier to get at with a torch.

Now I dont personally recommend this method, but thinking about i might improve your morale while you attemp more patient methods.
 
I think the key is to have a tool that is long and wide enough to fill the slot in the screw, and which you can get a lot of torque on. I broke a couple smaller flat head screw drivers, and finally picked up an ice chisel from Princess Auto for a couple dollars, ground it down and it worked like a charm.
 
Heck I was tempted to saw off the stock. We used about a foot long flat head screwdriver, and a vise grip on them as well. I guess maybe using a torch to heat it up is one idea, as for taking it back to silverdale, maybe this weekend if I dont have it on by then.
 
I used an easy out from Princess Auto..after trying to use big screwdrivers and stipping the slotted head in there.

There is a Princess Auto on Barton St. in Hamilton...Another in Kitchener I think.

Check out their website if you need to find the locations...
 
I could not find any screwdriver with a wide enough, thick enough blade tip to do the job without damaging the bolt head. A trip to Princess Auto produced a large cold chisel made out of about 20" of hex bar.

Some re-grinding of the tip gave a profile, width, and blade thickness that matches the bolt head. Either a large wrench, an impact gun, or a socket and tommy-bar will fit on the other end, and removal/installation has worked well, with no buggered-up bolts or stocks. Total cost was $4.95 plus a little time.

The trick is the heat gun. You got to heat up the military grade lock tight that they put on the screw in order to have any chance in hell to remove it. But for god's sake don't use a torch u could f everything up. If you dont have heat gun use a blow dryer and put it on high heat and leave it there for a good 3-5mins. But if you do have a heat gun 1 minute and use the screw driver then your done. Just remeber to remove everything and heat up the botom of the screw inside the rear chamber of the trigger.
 
What about one of those mini torches thats basically a glorified lighter? I like the hair dryer idea though, just wondering if the mini-torch would work and be quicker.

Just stay away from the sear/trigger assembly and remeber to use heat sink grease if you are going to do the torch idea. (this is a good just incase prevention)
