Which end of the barrel tang should come out first when removing the barrel from the stock?

When removing the barrel and tang, the back end of the tang should come out of the stock first. Trying to pull it out from the muzzle end first is not recommended because it can cause interference issues with the area directly in front of the boss near the tang.
