[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Remington 870: What tools are needed for switching out stock and forend?

Posted: 10/8/2004 7:54:09 PM EDT

I just ordered a speedfeed stock and forend combo for my 870. What size and type of screwdriver do I need to take the stock off? And what do I need to take the forend off?

I don't know about the stock, but the forend I replaced with a Surefire and it's easy. The surefire came with a tool, but it's just a slotted piece of metal that fits in the hole. Not sure where you get that tool from unless your forend comes with it like mine did.

Not to be funny but are you joking ?

If not let me know ?

I've always used a #1 phillips screwdriver for the recoil pad, a big flatbladed screwdriver for stock removal, and made up a piece of 1/8" thick steel, aprox 1.25"x1.25" combined with a pair of vicegrips for removing the fore-end tube nut... Hope that helps,

Thanks, I was able to get the forend nut off with a piece of wood that fit perfectly in the slots. I needed to know what size phillips to get, so thanks.

This can also be done with a pair of long nosed pliers with the tips spread out.
