Hi
I’m having difficulties assembling my Baker Paragon. When I look at the receiver there’s a cocking rod on the bottom of the receiver, and whether the hammers are cocked or uncocked the bar lays flat at the bottom of the receiver. When I try to assemble it, the barrels go on OK but when I try to put on the forearm, the cocking lever that is on the barrels won’t go underneath the cocking bar at the bottom of the receiver and jams up. It seems to me on my other shotguns that when the hammers are cocked the cocking bar in the receiver is in an upright position, not flat on the bottom of the receiver, and so the cocking arm on the barrel doesn’t go underneath the cocking bar in the receiver and it’s impossible to put on the forearm in that situation I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong trying to assemble it or do I have a problem somewhere mechanically with the gun? It seems to me that it’s the cocking bar at the bottom of the receiver is not functioning properly.
