If you dry fire it and then take the forarm off you will have to manually recock the ejectors and on a BTF this is a real pain. I would NOT dry fire and take the forarm off. I have learned the hard way

you should beable to dry fire it . i just tried my VHE skeet gun .dry fired it and took forend off and my ejectors did not kick than take the barrels off. mine used to kick every time i took the forend off, found out there was something off in the sear timing between receiver and forend ejectors. i had that fixed . if they do kick just use a wood dowel to reset them.

I accidently took a BTF off when the gun wasn't cocked and trying to recock the ejectors was a real pain. I have many ejector guns and won't take that chance.

OK, let's start from the beginning. Don't dry fire the gun with the forend "on". Make sure the gun is cocked. Remove the forend. Dry fire both barrels. Try to remove the barrels from the receiver. Try again and again. If you are unsuccessful, spray a bunch of whatever, maybe brake cleaner or WD-40 into the cocking slide area. Repeat the attempts to remove the barrels after putting the barrels and forend back on the gun and recocking it and dry firing it several times. Of course, the first dry firing may have released the hook. Let us know how you do.

At this point I am not interested in the gun due to the price, let me put it this way. Two times the asking price would bring this gun into 5 figures.
