I have a problem.  Somehow, the spring for the magazine latch in my bottom metal has gone missing.  I have zero clue how this occurred.  I'll have to get a replacement spring.  In the meantime, I was wondering if anyone knew how to disassembly the bottom metal to get the magazine latch out?  I assume this will be needed to put a new spring in.

Nevermind.  Just a roll pin, nothing more.

I even found the spring.  It had gotten trapped in the action.  Amazing I had taken it shooting today without that causing a problem
