So I had a chance to pick up a couple Ruger .44 Magnum carbines with the finger groove sporter stocks. Am I correct that the butt plate has to come off and the stock screw has to come out to get the action out of the stocks. I don't see any other way and these don't have the band at the front of the forearm. I want to be sure before I start taking them apart. They need a good cleaning after being stored for what seems like several years.
Thanks for any information anyone has.
