1. Make sure your rifle is completely unloaded and the
“safety” is in the on safe position.
2. Use a #2 cross tip or Phillips screwdriver to remove
the recoil pad at the end of the buttstock. Place a
small amount of petroleum jelly on the screw access
slits on the top and bottom of the rear of the buttstock
to prevent damaging the recoil pad. Insert the
screwdriver into each of the two access holes. Make
certain the tip of the screwdriver engages the head of
the screw. Turn the screw counterclockwise until the
screw is completely loose from the stock. When both
screws are free, remove the recoil pad.
3. Using a long, standard blade screwdriver, turn the
stock attachment screw counterclockwise (Figure 14).
4. Completely remove the buttstock from the receiver,
along with the existing shim, and install the shim you
have selected (Figure 15). Make certain you have the
proper shim installed and in the proper position before
reattaching the buttstock and recoil pad.
5. When you are satisfied with the fit, reattach the
buttstock to the receiver with the attachment screw,
do not overtighten.
6. Attach the recoil pad with care, so as not to scratch or
mar the finish of the stock. Clean the petroleum jelly
from the recoil pad.
