I purchased a new stock for my Model 12 in .223 Remington. According to the folks at Boyd's, it should be a fairly straight forward swap process. The problem I've run into is removing the old magazine from the well of the original stock. I can rock it back and forth, and get it to come up a quarter of an inch or so, but then it hangs up. I've looked at the parts diagram and I can see nothing that would or should be holding it. Do any of you have a suggestion on how I can remove the magazine without buggering it up?

Thanks.
