I got it! I made a couple of off-set screwdrivers and managed to remove the plug screw on the water table that retains the bolt stop cam(?). Once I got the cam out with bent-nose tweezers, the barrels came right off. Some one had installed the little cam upside down, which allowed the barrels to be unlocked, but not removed! The breech face is immaculate! There is NO indication of firing. The bores are perfect, too. Not bad for a 'field grade' shotgun with 110+ years under its belt. I will post some photos after I clean the dried crud from the working parts.
