Is there something special that needs to be done when putting back the front assembly in to the receiver? The reason i ask is because I am unable to turn the magazine tube all the way to where the lock pin can clear the barrel in the lock position. Thanks for any help. JM

Be sure the magazine tube is pushed all the way in before turning? -Ed

You must not have the barrel assembly fully seated into the receiver. Push on the end of the magazine tube to make sure its fully seated.

Also make ure the forend is all the way up or the rod will hit the side of the receiver and scratch it just look at most Model 12's and you will see the mark from it hitting the receiver during assembley.

On the receiver, is the bolt forward and locked?

Make sure the barrel is all the way in the receiver. That's been the cause of my own confusion a few times.

Thanks to all of your suggestions, I was able to resolve the issue. I made sure the bolt was locked and pushed down on the magazine tube nad turned the pin. My thanks to all of you. Happy holidays. JM
