I sold a Whitmores Patent shotgun and need to ship it but can't seem to figure out how to remove the barrels. I've removed the forend which is held on by a wedge and when I open the breech, the barrels swing up but do not release from the frame. I can see a linkage sort of thing that runs through the frame and moves along with the opening lever. There is also a small plunger sort of thing at the front of the frame on the part that the forend iron rides on. It does protrude a bit and may be spring loaded but it's position makes no difference. Anybody have any tips on how to remove the barrels? Thanks for any help!
