Ted, I checked the barrel lug and it is not loose. Also checked the hardware on the forend and everything seems snug. When I try to move the attached forend with hand pressure there is no movement.The slight forward movement is after a shell is fired. Now the round knurl that you move up to release the forend does not seem to function as Blackdog mentioned. I do not get the snap action that he referred to when replaceing the forend. On my gun it just rolls up to remove the forend and when the forend is replaced it seems to roll back in a set position. Extra dounward pressure on the knurl has no effect so I suspect this is were my problem could be? Could this be a reason that the anson design has been standard with the English.

Regards,

Max
