Stock & forend swap
How difficult would it be to swap the stock & forend between two 1956 Winchester Model 94's? I am not a gunsmith by any means but I do have very good tools and a good padded bench vise.
Or....is this someting better left to a gunsmith? If so, what sould I expect to pay for the service? [?]

I don't think it is all that hard. Proper fitting screwdrivers (bits) are important. A lead hammer (maybe brass) to swat the screwdriver can help loosen stuck screws. A few drops of good penetrating oil applied a few days before can help. 0 -

I have all of those simple tools. You don't want to see the copper headed hammer my Dad gave me! People would steal it just to melt it down for the copper these days! I have to hide it under lock and key in a big tool box! [:0]
But yes I have some smaller softer hammers and kroil, or other penetrating oils, for my work on my hammerless Colts. Thanks OD0 -
If the barrel band is tight, you run the risk of scratching the barrel or magazine tube when removing it. 0
