A few weeks ago, I was dove hunting. I tripped over a small stump and fell face forward. My shotgun was the first to hit the ground, which broke the stock.
The gun is a Savage Fox Model B side-by-side 20 gauge. The stock is broken directly behind the receiver on both sides. The break on the right side (shooter's view) is mostly a hair line crack and wraps around to almost the safety. The crack on the left side of the receiver is about 3/16" wide and does not wrap around to near the safety. I have a good idea of how to use an adhesive to repair both sides. I want to separate the stock from the receiver to make repair easier.
I thought by removing the trigger guard, I would be able to separate the stock from the receiver; however, I am unable to do this. I think the receiver is connected to the stock by way of a long bolt which is accessible only from the butt of the stock. The problem with this is, I cannot determine how to remove the recoil pad. I see no holes where the pad is screwed to the butt so I'm guessing it is attached with adhesive.
Am I correct about how the stock is connected to the receiver and the way the pad is attached to the butt? Is there another way to separate the stock and receiver?
