Default Newbie Question

OK - After decades of dreaming, I'm now the proud new owner of a 16 ga. Parker. Well, it's new to me, it was new perhaps a century ago.

Anyway, I'm having a Dickens of a time trying to remove the barrels from the receiver. I can easily remove the forearm, but when I try to remove the barrels - no such luck. I'm sure that there's some trick to it, but my general mechanical ability has decided to make me look the fool. I tried depressing the "barrel latch lever" the "pin at the ankle"? when the forearm is removed. No such luck.

Oh, BTW - it's a Trojan. Doing Google searches I see where others have trouble with the forearm. Being an LC Smith owner - that wasn't an issue.

Thanks in advance for any responses and everyone have a safe New Year.

- Robert
