Barrels
First, open the action to ensure that the gun is not loaded. Then close the
action. With the action closed, take a suitable screw driver and remove the
forend screws. Then remove the forend. Open the action to relieve the ten-
sion on the hinge pin. With a suitable punch or screw driver, gently tap out
the hinge pin. The hinge pin may be tapped out in either direction. Remove
the barrel from the frame.
Install the new barrel making sure the hole in the frame and in the barrel are
aligned. Tap in the hinge pin from either side, close the action and re-install
the forend.
Always make sure the chamber and bore of every barrel is both empty
and unobstructed prior to removing or installing a barrel. Working
on a loaded firearm could result in an accidental discharge. An
obstructed bore could result in a burst barrel. Either condition can
result in injury and/or death to the shooter or bystanders and dam-
age to property.
