Starting at the butt, remove the two screws holding on the recoil pad. 
 Now, go get yourself a long 3/8 drive extention and a 7/16 socket and a ratchet. Remove the bolt that's inside the stock, under the recoil pad. When its loose, your butt stock will now be separate from the receiver.  ;D

I believe it is a 9/16" socket, and if this helps, a 14mm socket will work as well....<><....:)

I had to do some fitting with a razor knife. The end of the frame and the front of the stock were off. The forearm had to have some fitting done as well. Probably took 30 minutes or so from start to finish. Following cw's lead of course
