Panda Action Glued to Stock

Dennis,
I've had success with the clothes iron method. An older one without the motion detection is best, but a new will work as long as you move a little before it cuts off.
This is my steps:
Remove scope and rings
Leave barrel on
Get 4 or 5 popsicle sticks
Wedge the first few sticks under the barrel at the end of the stock in the barrel channel
Set the iron on top of the scope rail with iron set as hot as possible
Let it heat up for several minutes
As it heats start to insert the other Popsicle sticks between the ones you already have between the barrel and stock
This creates constant upward pressure and as soon as the glue guts hot enough it will pop loose
Once that happens I can usually work the stock off by just pulling it away from the barrel
Hope this helps, a lot of people have had luck with putting them in a deep freezer also, but I've never had the room in mine to try it.

As was said. Be patient!
I don't know what your stock is wood, laminate wood or fiberglass. I got a little impatient on the last one of mine I did pried a little to much when it wasn't hot enough and when it popped out it came out with a strip of the laminate stock along with

I put the barrel in a vise with the gun suspended over a towel on a table. I heat the action and without wedges i let it fall onto the towel when its ready. Get in a hurry and itll inevitably pull out a plug of something you didnt want to. Just let it sit and go sweep the floor or something and let gravity work
