Browning Double Auto

[HavenX]

I have a browning double auto, looks like this http://www.zanesgunrack.com/images/TD1-01X.jpg

Except mine is in new condition. I figured out how to take it apart, but the barrel seems to stick. I looked all over the net for instructions on how to take this thing apart and I can’t find crap. I assume that if I do this right the barrel won’t want to stick and I will be able to pull it out. The way this works is that I pull the wood part under the barrel down at the end closest to the trigger by unlatching it. When I lower the back half of the wood part it lowers a metal bar that locks the barrel in near the chamber and the barrel is supposed to slide forward. The front end of the wood sort of pivits. Anyone got any ideas?

I attached some photos.

my only thoughts are take it to a smith and he might be able to show you how to take it apart

I'm sure there is a trick to it. If I wanted to go to a smith I would not have asked on here.

Well, since you have such a nice demeanor.......:barf:

Here's the way I do it...Make sure the breechblock is in the rearward position, pull the forearm latch rearward and press the forearm down as far as it will go. The bbl should then come out. If you have a twelvette with an aluminum receiver, they have a tendency to freeze, so a little friendly persuasion with a mallet might do it.

Okay, it's got the aluminum receiver, so the binding I have must be pretty normal. Thank you for the info.
