Marlin 336 forend removal and refinish?

I want to take the forend off my Glenfield 30A, same as a Marlin 336, it has the forend cap with a small screw on each side. I figured if I take those two screws out, slide the cap away from the wood, the forend should pop right out. Is there something else holding the forend in? Does the whole magazine tube assembly need to come off to remove the forend?
Whats the best way to strip all the old finish off the stock and forend? Its birch, and I want to leave it natural finish, no stain. How do you get all the old stain out of the checkering?
Thanks for any guidance!

Re: Stain, well, the word IS stain. Not paint, It gets into the wood fibers, and colors them. You CAN try using a solvent, soaking, and brushing checkering GENTLY with a soft brush (toothbrush) but don't think you will get it all out. Gunpartscorp DOES have an on line schematic for your rifle that may help a little.
