Barrels won't come off.

[J. A. EARLY]

Edgar,

Funny story. My study may be flawed since obviously I have not looked at multiple guns with stuck barrels. I have only actually stuck one doing the same swap and got them off by removing the screw. It does give you a sickening feeling in your stomach when you do it.

But the others I looked at I used the hypothesis that with stuck barrels they would not open further than they normally would with the forend on. Thus the gauge conclusion. So all ignore my data, please.

I put a set of Fox Sterlingworth barrels on another gun and put the forend of the original gun on them. They fit, but a tight forend fit, and I pulled the screws out of the wood trying to get the forend off. Felt like an idiot, which I was.

Jerry - at least the lug stayed on the barrels...

Thank you all for your very good advice. Yes, it was a Trojan in very nice shape but the barrels. I did take the screw out and the barrels came off. when I put them back together, it did the same thing. Off to my gunsmith who is a wizard on metal problems on guns. I will let you know what it was so if some one else has this problem, we will know of one cure. Frank

Well... tell him to take a look at the unhooking slide in the trigger plate and he will find the cure.

Brian, you were right again. When he took it apart and got the spring and plunger working again. it is working find now. Thanks again. See you guys in a few weeks. Frank
