Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

Glad you asked for pics. In reexaming, there are only 2 stakes. You can see how I tried to turn again them and sheer them off with no luck. A little more torque or a little Dremel work would do it. Then my question would be is removing the buttstock as easy as just removing the ring? Or is there more to it, like stuff inside falling out.
