IT'S APART AND HERE'S WHAT I FOUND
Curiosity got the best of me, so shaped an old screwdriver to fit the big screws and broke them loose - didn't take much torque. Next I tackled that transverse key in the forestock - no problem there either. First I removed the metal trim around the small end (2 trim screws), then I removed the 2 trim screws on the other side of the stock (big end of key). Turned the rifle back over (i.e., big end of key down) and lightly tapped the key (small end) with a bit of wood and it was out. Once I removed the two big screws bottom side, the barreled action lifted right out - same with trigger/magazine assembly.
Of course, I took some photos for all to see. Take a look and share your thoughts (i.e., knowledge). Thanks!
