Evening all.
I recently acquired a sad old 24V that some previous owner lost a number of key parts for... Not complaining about that. It allowed me to get the rifle for just about nothing and save it from the trash heap.

I've already ordered most of the parts I need, (but if anybody has a cast trigger guard or forestock wood and/or springbar they want to get rid of, please let me know), and now I'm in the process of trying to figure out what gunsmithing I need to do.

I'm going to cut the barrels down to 20" for compactness, and thread the shotgun barrel for a choke adapter. Doing this the way I want (on my lathe) will involve removing at least one of the barrels from the breech block. The barrels appear to just be pressed and pinned into the block, but before I try to pull one of the barrels I'd like to find out if there's an accepted process or if anybody has done it before. it would be a shame to booger things up from lack of knowledge.

Thanks all.
