Model 760 Forearm Stock replacement

[peak1]

I am replacing the cracked forearm stock on my 760. One set of directions I have say to remove the forearm retaining screw, then remove the retaining cap,then the forearm stock slides forward, and you can replace it. Well, I removed the retaining screw, but the cap does not come off. It looks like the cap is held in place by a pin. Before I go monkeying around and screw something up, I was hoping someone in here has replaced the forearm stock on their 760 before, and would be kind enough to offer some direction(s) or helpful hint(s). I just want to do this right the first time with no surprises or damage to any of the parts. Thanks for any help offered.

Ken, thanks for the help! Much appreciated. Well, there is a screw that goes through the cap, that acts to hold a sling. The action tube does not extend past the forearm stock, only the cap with the screw comming out of it. If this does not help you, mail me at: peak1nc@carolina.rr.com and I can send you a photo. Thanks again.

I'll sat thanks as well Rem because next summer I plann to take mine apart to have the stock refinished and obviously I would have gone nutty. It's a 1954. Now, I'll just save your instructions.
