Joel,
With the forend off, you should see a pin pop out just off the end of the frame near the hinge. This is the "cocking hook release pin". It is about 1/8" diameter, and should protrude about 1/4". If it is stuck, then the cocking hook will not release for barrel removal. Try applying some penetrating oil to the pin and work it in and out to loosen up. Don't use a metal object to push it in. Maybe a dowell, or the butt end of a screwdriver. If you can loosen up this pin, it should do it's job and allow barrel removal.
