I've owned a few Foxes and removing the buttstock is not too bad. Does anyone have a procedure or pics on how to remove the buttstock on an NID? I've searched the archives but most pics are not available any longer. I've heard these are whole different animal. Thanks in advance. Steve

Steve,
I do have that sequence written out but I’m not where I can put my hands on it until this evening. If someone doesn’t get you an answer before then I’ll see if I can look it up and post it for you.

That would be great. Thank you very much

Remove trigger guard ,screw under the toplever.screw at the back of the bottom tang. both action bottom plate screws remove bottom plate ..you might have to remove sear bars.

You usually have to drive the Sear pin out and let the Sears fall free to allow the stock & frame to be separated.

If the Trigger Plate is on tight and it generally is, use a slender punch and drop it down the empty Top Tang Screw hole. Let it bottom out in the Trigger plate boss. Then tap on the punch and it'll loosen and lift the Trigger Plate free of the Frame to help remove it.
Don't try and pry it free,

Once the Trigger Plate is off,,the Bbl Trip coil spring is free to be removed, just pull it out of the hole in the underside of the frame so it doesn't get lost.
The Bbl Trip itself, the U shaped part can then be pushed out from the action flat and out the bottom of the frame.
Good to do that as well to avoid it falling free and getting lost.

Glad you were able to get what you need.

Thank you everyone for the quick response. Sure do appreciate it.
