PaSxS,
Thank you the suggestion.
I had done this afternoon just what you suggested and the hammers are always "up".
Both guns were like this when I bought them! One new and the other used.
The 20 ga forend slips in to place and locks easily with no effort.
The 12 forend is a tighter fit, requiring me to place the curved end against the front of the receiver and press toward the receiver to get it to drop into place and lock..
The only part of the receiver that may be contacting the forend is a single pin .
On the 12, I may be pressing on that pin, but that does not seem to be the case on the 20.
Another question?
What can I expect if I keep on shooting these guns as I have for decades? What can happen? Has anyone actually had a gun fail because of this? If so, in what way did it fail?
