You can get the barrels off without taking the floor plate off on most 12 gauge guns. From the looks of the hinge pin screw, someone thought it worked like a single barrel and butchered that up trying to remove it, which would have gotten them no where.
It is a two man job, but have someone hold the action open as far as it will go, forend removed, farther than it normally does upon opening, and with the right size bit remove the screw that holds the barrel hook. But don't lose the parts that come out of the barrels when the hook is removed.
It does take two people to keep from screwing up and to get full access to the screw head so it clears the frame. Hard to do by yourself because you need three hands. Should work. It does for me.
