I am writing this up in hope that my description comes in handy for someone else unfamiliar with their PH rifle...like I was until this am.
In order to remove the metalwork from the stock one must first unscrew the two screw that hold the action in place but, and that’s not an obvious but to the casual observer, in order to remove the trigger guard from the stock (which also secures, along with the two screws, the action/barrel onto the stock), one must also remove the mag release lever (roll pin holds it in place) and spring. Then one must unscrew the Alan screw that’s under the mag release lever, and it all comes apart pretty as you please.
The rifle has a Timney adjustable trigger which I brought down to 34oz from 56 oz, she now breaks smooth as silk….ought to help improve my 1.5 inch groups at 100 yards....maybe.
BTW, I had to refinish the stock even though it was in pretty good shape, call me compulsive if you must
Hope all this helps someone, sometime, someplace
