How to Install the Topper Trap Buttstock on the Buffalo Classic?
« on: November 04, 2010, 01:56:26 PM »
Has anyone done this?  It just arrived and it's beautiful, but the buttpad appears to be glued on.  How do I access the buttstock bolt?

Remove the recoil pad/butt plate, see the FAQs for details.

I know that you first remove the buttplate, but it appears to be glued on, unlike the others that are held on with two screws. 

Presumably someone has swapped out the Topper Trap buttstock and encountered this before?

The screws are likely buried in the pad, look for tiny holes to access the screw heads, soft pads hide the mounting screws, lubricate the screwdriver shaft to prevent marring the pad.  ;)

Use your fingers and "pry" the back of the pad apart, like you would spread your mouth with your fingers when you were a kid to show disrespect....
that should show the holes where the screws are located.
When you find the holes, choose a screwdriver with as smooth a shank as possible, and additionally, use a bit of Vaseline or other heavy lube on the screwdriver, and the face of the pad, and work a bit down into the holes, otherwise, the screwdriver WILL chew those holes ragged.  I've not worked with this particular pad, but be prepared for either flat blade or Phillips head screws in there.
Install with the same care, and you should be rewarded with an installation that has the next guy scratching his head wondering "how in the world did they get that on"........

Welcome to the GBO world of Handi, Andy!
Sit a spell here and you'll find there's a vast array of knowledge when it comes to the Handi rifle and it's character. There's some here that have forgot more about Handi rifles than I'll ever be able to learn. Quickdtoo (Tim) is one of those.

Enjoy your Handi rifle.  :D

Sure wasn't tryin' to poke any fun at ya Andy. Really didn't think about it until someone else brought it up.
Growin' up with a tag like Billy had it's share of rhyming and taunting too during my early years. Sticks & stones was a common reply. No, I don't have a sister named Nanny and no I don't know if my girl friend can make a cherry pie and so on...
Simply welcoming you to this fine group of folks with a friendly howdy hi  to the new guy.

Wasn't for a moment offended!  This is a very welcoming place.

I have three NEF's:  Two Buffalo Classics (the one with the new buttstock was rechambered to 45-90); and one in 500 S&W (ouch!).  The two BC's have Ladder Sights installed, and all have the buttstocks filled with #9 shot.

Thanks,
