jimk23 Posted December 26, 2023 Report Share Posted December 26, 2023 (edited) Need to replace the end-cap on my 550 buttstock. I saw a post on swissrifles where there was a picture of the end piece separated from the stock, so it must able to take it off and replace.

JoshNC Posted December 29, 2023 Report Share Posted December 29, 2023 I’ve not had to remove any. But replacement Swiss buttpads are available on Gunbroker. It’s wise to stock up (pun intended) on a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure if a picture of the tool is published someone here in the US can make one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s going to send some pics. He said he used automotive trim removing tools and they worked well and did not damage the plastic, that if you are lucky the old rubber just falls apart and is not difficult .

Hey Josh, I bought the tools you spoke of but haven't been able to get the end piece off. Did he say exactly how he used them? BTW, you are in my home town growing up.
