While preparing to return from a Blue Grouse trip, I took apart my Francott 12 ga. SXS Double. Just like I've done so many times. Except this time I wasn't thinking. I opened the action "before" removing the fore-end. Then, instead of closing the action, I just removed the fore-end, while the action was partially open. The second I did it, I knew I screwed up. Then, I put the barrels back on the action and pulled the triggers.

Well, now I can't get the fore-end back on the gun.

Can anyone help?

The gun is a VLD era Francott 12 ga. ejector gun.


GOD BLESS AMERICA.
