To remove the stock, take off the recoil pad. There are 2 philips head screws that hold it on (870 Express) that you can’t see. Push the screwdriver through the 2 small holes and "feel" when the tip is in the screws. Once you get the pad off you’ll need a long handled flat screwdriver to reach into the stock to remove the bolt that goes into the receiver. You do NOT need to strip the gun to remove the stock.
There is a special tool to remove the forearm. If you buy a synthetic stock and forearm they may have the wrench with them. If not, you can usually use a narrow flat bade screwdriver to spin the nut loose. I made a tool out of thin wall metal tubing to use. Sometimes a local gun shop will have the tool and will take the forearm off for a few dollar fee if you don’t want to take a chance of scratching things up.
The link below is to an eBay auction that shows the forearm tool and how it fits into the forearm for removal/installation.
The butt stock is held to the receiver with a bolt from inside the receiver. I am assuming that it is a Wingmaster. Take the barrell off and take out the pump and slide assembly. Knock out the two pins that hold the trigger group in place and you have the reveiver housing, the stock and the holding chamber. Look into the back of the receiver and you’ll see the bolt!
That’s the kind I have, but I don’t know. Try to ask someone at your local Cabela’s, Dicks, Gander Mountain, or other sporting goods store. Call a gunsmith out of the yellow pages. It’s probably pretty simple.
