…….removal.
Hi everybody! I wish to remove the buttstock on a Model 1903 I just acquired, and was wondering, is there a tool out there I can use to safely remove the retaining nut, or, will I have to fabricate my own special tool? Thank you!

A watchmakers adjustable case back wrench with the proper tips works perfect but it is expensive. The best solution is to just make your own custom tool, they are easy to make.

I purchased a 9/16″ deep socket, 3/8″ drive, for $2.50 at our local hardware emporium. Less than 30 minutes with my bench grinder and a file, and the stock was off!
