Mark, Operate the forend latch by pushing the latch lever toward the rear, then pivoting the lever outward. Slide the forend forward until it stops, and swing the cocking lever lifter out of its recess in the front underside of the reciever. Operate the barrel latch,tip the barrels downward, then remove them toward the rear and upward. Remove the cross screw on the left side near the lower edge of the forend. Slide the forend wood forward until it clears the internal mechanism, and remove the wood downward.

There are THREE types of superposed forearm set ups.
The common late type used the takedown latch we normally think of.
The Lighting models used a latch system to unlock the forearm. The forearm would then slide forward aprox 1/2", then you could remove the barrels from the action. The late models used a block and a small screw under the latch to keep the forearm from falling off.
The earlier ones had a cross screw thru the forearm to keep the forearm from falling off.
Some of the early trap forearms had a steel plate on the end of the forearm to help hold the metal together.
So you really need to know which version you have.
