I am trying to remove the original stock on my Romanian WASR22 with a composite one from Tapco. I removed the 2 screws on top but can get the stock to move. I put the stock in a vise to pry out with a screw driver but decided to ask for suggestions before getting to crazy with it. Thanks in advance for any help.  |
| Assuming this is a built rifle and not one you are trying to build your options are fewer than if it is on a kit to be built. If it is on a kit to be built wait until you demill the rear. If it is not, then you will have to vise the receiver and with a long object (like a screw driver) "whack" it out. You could also utilize a press if you have access to one and probably get better cleaner results. |

Stamped receiver stock is just held in place with the two screws, and a tight fit in the receiver. Once you have removed the two screws, just pry it out with a screwdriver. There is usually a hole on the top of the rear trunnion that you can wedge the screwdriver in and use for leverage to pry the stock out, just like pictured here.

I started to try this and the screwdiver started to bend. I just wanted to be sure that if I used more force it would not damage anything. I will try something a little stronger. akolleth, thanks for the help.

It is just a replacement stock on an existing build. I will have to use the screwdriver method because I do not have access to a press. uscombatdiver, thanks for the help. |
