Winchester 370 forearm removal

[Tido4570]

I have a Winchester model 370 20 gauge single shot. Anybody know how to take one apart? I would like to take the forearm off for a refinish and cleaning.

Tido: Just pull down on the front of the forearm and it will swing down. It's spring loaded. The barrel will then unhinge the same way with the forearm off.

Thanks for your help!

I had an old 37 which is close to the same. Sometimes you need a real bear grip on them to get the forearm off.
