Only Questions?

Without having your gun to hand its hard to be able to figure it out?

1. Can you fit the forend to just the barrels when they are separated from the stock/action?

2. If your gun has ejectors, maybe the ejector springs/bar in the foreend are in the 'fired' postion, and therefore 'in the way' and need to be re-cocked?

3. Are you sure the forend you have is the actual original one? They all look the same but they will not 'transfer' to another gun even if it is the same make and model.

Try and test the above?

hi mate thanks for the reply

1.i can fit the fore end to just the barrels

2.it is not an ejector but it does push the emptys out by about half an inch

3.yes the fore end is the right one

 

i have just been told by my mate who used it when he broke it down that he removed the fore end and barrels and fired off the action could this be the problem if it is how do i rectify this many thanks.

how do i re cock the fore end springs?

all sorted mate thanks very much for "triggering" my memory it was the ejector bar in the fore end would have took me ages to think of it thanks
