As you suspect, the wires are there to keep the action screws locked in place. The wires are not soft steel, but are tempered to make them stiff. As such, I agree with Accumulator, if you have no reason to remove the action from the stock, I would not remove them, as they do tend to break. Tight action screws on a Hakim are important. If they come loose enough, the bolt will fail to lock the hammer back on the sear.
