Remington 1889

[FRANK HALSEY]

I took the barrels off my remington 1889 hammer 12 ga. and now I can't get them back on. What am I doing wrong??? Thank you in advance. Frank

To re-mount the barrels on an 1889, just drop them onto the hinge pin almost at 90 degrees to the action face (maybe about 5 degrees toward it), then turn them up while you push the top lever to the right so that the locking bolt retracts and allows the barrel lump to turn in.

Give it a go gently, don't force anything. You'll get the "trick" quickly.

Best, Kensal

Thank you. It took a little pushing down but it is on again. Frank
