Engage the rear portion of the forearm (forearm bracket) with the
action (Figure 7).
6 Pivot the forearm up to the barrel tightly. This will cause the take-
down lever latch to engage onto the barrel. It may be necessary to
depress the takedown lever latch. It should be flush with the wood on
the underside of the forearm. The forearm and latch can be installed
in one motion by positioning the forearm as shown and tapping the
forearm’s widest part sharply toward the barrel with the heel of your
hand (Figure 8). The takedown lever latch should then automatically
lock into position.
CAUTION — WHEN ASSEMBLING YOUR BT-99 SHOTGUN, DO NOT USE
UNDUE FORCE IN CLOSING THE ACTION.
If the action and barrel are not properly aligned, undue force will only
cause them to grind together and score or mar the finely fitted surface.
If there appears to be interference, start over at Step 2, being careful to
mate and align the barrel lug and the receiver hinge pin properly.
