The ejector tumblers (hammers) on many guns can trip when the forend is off the gun. A technique to remember that seems to work in most cases, and is safe and easy to do; take the barrels off, pull the extractors out on the barrels to the ejected position and replace the forend assembly on the barrels and latch it. Then take a piece of wood, rest the muzzles on the carpet and and gently push each extractor back into the recess. The tumblers should now stay in a cocked position, and allow reassembly of the gun. But, if an ejector sear is broken it may not stay cocked and need repair.
