Bulgarian Sidefolder Help

How do you disassemble the folding stock mechanism. I'm in an area I don't need it pinned open and want to turn it back into a folder. It's been a while and I cant remember how to disassemble.

Are you talking about a triangle side-folder?

The only thing holding the rear latch in place is a pin. Depending on how it was pinned open you may be missing pieces. A pic might help.

Copper tubing over the spring a cross bolt latch. So it looks like I just need to remove the spring tension pin. Is there access to drive it out from underneath or how does it come out?

Grab with needle nose and pull out. Depressing the latch release a little relieves some of the spring tension. Pics please.

What he said... The "pin" may be a cotter pin, and not the pin which was originally used. You may need to bend the tail of the cotter pin so it's easier to yank it out.

Does your rifle look like the pic below?
