Forearm Removel?
Forearm Removel?
I have a new 92 carbine and would like to refinnish the wood. Can someone provide instruction on how to remove the forearm? I know there can be some issues with the barrel band and magazine tube. Thanks.

Re: Forearm Removel?
I start by remembering the orientation of everything such as which side the screws enter the bands, etc. A picture is worth a thousand misplaced thoughts.
- Remove the forearm tip screw. Once you loosen it, free of the threads, you will probably need a very small punch to push it clear of the stock, tube, and barrel.
- Remove the barrel band screw.
- Remove the magazine cap screw and cap.
- If the magazine spring hasn't flown out, remove it and the follower.
- Remove the magazine tube.
- Remove the barrel and forearm tip bands. With the tube still in the forearm, the bands cannot get past the front sight.
- Remove the forearm.
