I picked up an "A" series Winchester 1893 pump shotgun. There are plenty of schematics out there for the 1897, but not so the 1893. This is a real one, and not the Chinese import- just to be clear. I've taken down 1897's and even Marlin 1898's (not for the faint of heart) since I was a young man, but this is my first 1893.

For those that have have taken one down, am I correct that I must drift out the block at the front bottom of the carrier in order to get the action slide out of the carrier/receiver?

Any help you can give me is appreciated.
