I am doing a 922r conversion on my unfired Egyptian Maddi RPM. I am having trouble with getting the OEM wood off. I took 3 screws out of the thumbhole stock - one above the pistol grip and two through the tang in the back at the top of the receiver. I pounded on the stock, but it won't budge. Maybe it is a super-tight press-fit into the receiver, but after sitting in my heated safe for 17 years, you'd think it would be loosened up. Am I missing something, or do I just need a BFH? I also don't know how to get the wood off of the gas tube. The lower handguard is off, and the gas tube assy is off - there appears to be ears from a spring clip of some kind that hang over the underside edges of the upper handguard. I read somewhere that the wood rotates for removal, but I can't make it budge.

Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks - JayC

Dont know if how I did it is acceptable proper procedure. But anyways, I pulled mine as much as I could after unscrewing the wood screws out. There that circular hole in the rear trunion. I used a wide flat headed screw driver wedges in there to gain leverage and pry/push the wood stock out. It only left a very very very minimal indentation in the wood its inside the receiver. You wouldnt even know now since I refinished the stock though. That was THE ONLY way mine was coming out was to wedge some thin strong, thin and flat in there to pry/push the stock out the back of the receiver.

When I built my Egyptian AK, I put the rear trunnion in a little crooked and the tang wedged against one side of the stock groove making removal a PITA. I just use a flat head screwdriver and pry one side out. Sanding the sides of the stock where it enters the receiver also helps.
