I took the gun in today and my good luck he worked on it as I waited. Some hardened grease on the base of the forfend but the problem lay in what I believe is called the forfend tumbler not seating well in the hook of the tang. There was a fair amount of daylight seen in the fit after he removed the wood and reattached the forearm mechanism. He file fitted the tumbler bit by bit and fine tuned the tang at the end of the process and got a much better snap closure. We stopped there and I am going to put some rounds through it and see. If still a problem I will bring it back for more.
A nice visit and I learned a bit. Also got a nice tutorial on British doubles and handled some guns I don't get to see every day.
