Thanks Scorch, the screws in the forend threw me off. I initially removed those and removed the wood from the spring loaded hanger. I am not used to seeing a forend on a double gun without a latch to pull. Got past that and voile, the forend snapped off and the rest was all good. Cleaned, lubed and reassembled. I'll bet this gun never saw the field more than a few times. Nearly NOS.
Thanks for the help. Sorry about offending anyone's sensibilities by misappropriating a sacrosanct term. I respect people who earn it, labels are meaningless to me. In my 65 years I'd guess that about half the fellows I've dealt with who were "gunsmiths", we're mostly bumbling idiots. Henceforth I'll call myself a "hobbyist", is that ok?
