Thank You for the warm welcome and the replies Fella's.
Just to clarify, I have the wooden foreend pulled off, but now need to take the foreend Iron off and am not sure how that's done.
I'll try to explain it a little better:
There is a screw that comes down thru the foreend Iron from the underside of the bbls(the slot of the screw head is facing the underside of the bbls), which holds the the foreend insert (a solid U shaped 1/8" thick piece of metal stock w/ threaded hole that receives the screw and rides in a channel cut inside the wooden foreend to keep the wood tight against the bbls.).
This screw has backed out of the foreend insert so I need to get the foreend Iron off to be able to get at the slot of the screw w/ a screwdriver.
I hope this isn't even more confusing .
Thanks again for the input guys.
