Ok. I had a Smith add a 1928 butt-stock adapter for me, and because he had difficulty at this point, he made a tool for me to avoid this.
For you, let's not get too fancy just yet, but take a slim screw driver and with the frame laying upside down on the floor or your work bench (with the pistol grip pointing at your face), take the score driver and slide it down the carrier until you meet some resistance. Now, while depressing the trigger, apply some upward toggle motion forcing the inserted part of the screw driver upward AND pull the lower frame backward or forward (if you are trying to open up the beast or close it). Keep trying if it doesn't work 1st time. Remember to pull trigger with each attempt. Maybe fuss with location of screwdriver too
Het back with me
