The travel of he toggle is limited by the latch, so pushing it under the lug may not be the position it would be if the latch were in place. The lobe of the toggle may be worn. If I recall, Brian has replacement toggles.

On my DH the forend is on there as tight as it can be. One cannot pull it off once on. However, the slightest pull on the forend lever releases it, so Edgar is correct. That is why taking the wood off and just putting the forend iron on probably won't tell me anything in my opinion.

The inertia of the recoil moves the lever enough to disconnect the forend after firing.
