Help with Stock Removal on Weatherby Backcountry

[jazz3ring]

I’m getting ready to send my Backcountry 2.0 action & barrel off to be cut and threaded.

I have the bolt, action screws, trigger assembly, and magazine removed.

I thought the action and barrel would just drop out of the stock. The action and barrel have little to no movement in the stock and will not come out of the stock.

Any suggestions?

Put the stock or barreled action in a vice if you have one. Pull straight up with some force. The action is bedded in the stock at the recoil lug if it like my weatherbys that are in peak 44 stocks, that is what is causing it to be tight after removing screws.
