1892 Stock and Forearm Removal

[Dino]

Does anyone know how to remove the stock and forearm from a Cimarron '92?

[Gun Smith]

Is this a trick question? Simply unscrew the buttstock screw and pull off the stock. Unscrew the small screws through the forearm band and magazine band. Slide the magazine tube off the barrel (it contains a spring and follower too) and slide the forearm band off the forearm. Sometimes the forearm and the magazine tube come loose at the same time.

Suggest you buy the book by David R Chicoine, antique firearms assembly/dis-assembly it has a wealth of information regarding the old firearms takedowns and put togethers, its one of my premier sources of info. Correct tools are a requirement.

Just don't use a standard tapered tip screw driver. Make sure it has a squared off tip that fits the screw head so there is no slippage , so you don't bugger up your screw heads. You can get the right screwdriver with a dozen different size replaceable tips for around $15. Gun digest centerfire assembly/ dissassembly book can be had for around $15 , Midway carries both items. Good Luck!

Just curious, why are you removing it?

Easiest way to learn is turn off the confuser and just DO it.

That's how I learned. If there's a screw it's holding something somehow. Look it, analyze it's function and go from there.

Way back when I knew a fellow who had a washer welded to the stock screw of his M94 and he used it like a take down rifle. He carried it with the stock off in a pouch in front of the seat of his pickup.
