Xylo cerakote - taking it apart

[fmorelli]

Hi All, I'm looking to go two-tone on my Xylo chassis - basically shoot the main chassis Patriot Brown. I'm wondering if anyone here has disassembled the Xylo chassis and has any advice before I go exploring. Ideally I'd love to pull everything off the core chassis - this would include pop-out sight (I think the small hex screw locks that in place), the adjustable buttstock rods (not sure how they are held in place - maybe the hex screw between the rods is attached to some kind of locking mechanism?

Pretty sure that loosening the screw you have arrowed and backing it out allows space for some spring loaded wedged bits to retract back into the center of the stock body thus disengaging from the rods and you should then be able to pull the rods out.
Its real obvious once you take it apart, its a bit harder to try and type out with my dumb ass vocabulary.

You can see on their illustration that its got the same sort of slots cut in it on the chassis side as it does on the butt side.

I honestly cant remember how the bubble level is assembled.

Edit: my attempt at illustration, as the screw goes in it forces the bits apart which locks them into the rods, when the screw comes out it allows the rods to retract.

thanks for the detailed response. I sort of guessed it might be something like that.

On the bubble level, my guess is this small screw holds the body in place:

Youre very likely right on that.

Undo all the screws, figure out how it goes back together later.

Always works for me.

These may help, if you don't already have them.
