A little off the track, please for give, but a Model 88 (been there done that, when the 88 first came out, if I remember it's a remove one bolt operation) and or 100 is a perfect candidate for an H&H style take-down, if your are into lever / auto actions this is. I have also ran across a pic on the net someplace where a 98 came out of the stock, bottom metal still attached and intact, sort of like the Win. 88. Maybe someone will remeber. FWIW --- John303.
