Help!

[Andrew Thompson]

While cleaning several guns at a time, I mistakingly put the barrels from a ph on a dh and they will not come off. Do I have to dissassemble the gun?

[Autumn Daze]

Andrew,What exactly is happening..

[Austin W Hogan]

Don't apply any massive force.

Apply pressure to the top lever slowly; do you feel the lock bar disengage from the barrel? If you think the locking bar is clear of the barrel try this.

Sit on a low chair or stool. Place the butt on the floor, and one foot behind the butt. Rest the barrels atop the other knee. Push the lever over with one hand. Slap the frame/floorplate with the other. If the gun does not open it may be necessary to remove the stock and internal frame parts to fully withdraw the bolt.

Good luck

Austin

Not paying attention, I hooked the lug over the pin and when i tried to close the breech, noticed that it would not close and now I can't remove the barrels from the reciever. Thanks for responding.

I think it's in the cocking mechanism

[Autumn Daze]

Andrew it sounds like the cocking hook has become caught in the cocking crank. Can you get at the screw that holds cocking hook to the barrels? If so then carefully remove it and the barrels will come off.Then you can try to dislodge the hook from the crank.

[Andrew Thompson]

Dave. Tried that and could not move the screw. I'll clean the slot, get a bigger screw diver, and try again

[Andrew Thompson]

Got it. Thanks alot, guys.

[Autumn Daze]

I,ll bet most of us has done that a least once...

[Bill Murphy]

Not "at least once" but once. Firing the gun usually releases the hook. However, if you can get at the screw that holds the hook, that does the trick also.
