I didn't have to whack it, I just poked it with the punch. I don't think it was very much force and it should have already been away from the metal. Numrich has the screws for $2.50 and the cap for $8. I'd rather not replace the cap but if the screw is just buggered up that will be easy.

Here are some pics I took before I started messing with it. They are all very dark so I'm only posting a few that show interesting stuff. I'll take some pics outside this weekend.

Anyone ever seen the bare wood under the bolt handle and safety? Is that a sign that someone refinished the stock and just didn't stain those parts?
