I got myself a brand new B525 Sporter for clays recently. It has a mid bead that I want to remove but I'm not sure how to go about it and I dont want to damage it or the rib.

On examination it looks pretty plastic and flimsy. I thought about holding it with a small pair of pliers and seeing if it unscrews, but it looks like it might just snap off if it isnt threaded.

Anyone got any experience of doing this?

Thanks in advance.

Ok most where press fit for the mid bead and they tend to snap about flush when your removing them personally that’s better than a bare hole in the rib but if you want it totally out or to replace it it’s a gentle pull and twist then re-drill the hole.
