[QUOTE="mcnanysa, post: 2186974, member: 115008"] Next is the removal of the forearm and magazine tube assembly. With the action in its rearward position, begin by unscrewing the magazine cap from the magazine tube. Two notes : 1.) this is an external thread cap, or the opposite of what you're used to seeing on a Remington 870 (internal thread); 2.) these shotguns didn't have a magazine spring retainer (like a Remington 870 or Mossberg 500) so keep your finger on the cap as you are unscrewing it! [ATTACH alt="IMG_4692.JPG"]271251[/ATTACH][ATTACH alt="IMG_4693.JPG"]271252[/ATTACH] This particular gun didn't have a shell limiter/plug, so once the magazine cap is removed, the spring should present itself. [ATTACH alt="IMG_4694.JPG"]271253[/ATTACH] The spring should be examined for bent or damaged coils, then set aside. Remove the magazine tube by slide it forward towards the muzzle. [ATTACH alt="IMG_4695.JPG"]271254[/ATTACH] You'll most likely see the shell follower sticking out of the end of the magazine tube. It will come out the same end as the spring. [ATTACH alt="IMG_4696.JPG"]271255[/ATTACH] The forearm will easily remove from the receiver, and you can separate the wooden forearm from the action bar assembly.
