To the kids: "Observe the lever on top of the action of the gun near the back part of the barrels. Move the lever to the right, hold in that position while putting pressure on the top of the barrels. Gun should open without breaking stock." I have actually owned two graded Lefevers with evidence that a pry bar was used to forceably remove the forearm. Apparently, the owners of the pry bars didn't realize that the round silver things in the middle of the forearm were buttons, that, when pushed, would release the forend.
