I've done a couple. Your going to have to disassemble the lock first because your going to have to make room for different parts of the lock. Use inlet black or something similar to show where wood needs removed. The most important thing to remember is take your time. The V spring will be the last thing to inlet. Remove as little wood as possible from the stock. If you have experience using a Dremel tool it can really make things easier. Good luck.
