I just inherited my Grandfather's Montgomery Ward 20 gauge "Hercules" shotgun. From what I have found on Google, it was made my either Iver Johnson or J Stevens. I would like to thoroughly clean it and touch up the bluing, but I can't figure out how to remove the barrel from the action. The pivot point appears to be more of a press fit than a roll pin. Here is a picture I found on the web of an assembly that looks nearly identical to mine for reference. I would appreciate any help.
**EDIT: After doing more research, I am almost positive it was made by Stevens and is equivalent to a Stevens model 94. Still have no idea how to remove the barrel.
