Stevens Model 940 20g Single shot Dissasembly Help?

[Cluster Bomb]

Im looking to disassemble this single shot 20g. to refinish the stocks on it. and to give it a good cleaning as it hasnt been cleaned in about 20 years.

i have googled and only found and exploded view pdf that i have to pay for..

I know many single shotguns break down by pulling the front of the forarm grip down, it will pop off (my older one needed alot of muscle to do it the first time) after that the barel unhooks and it should be straightforward from there.

i undid the fore grip screw and opened the barrel. The wood seperates a lil bit but at the joint it stays firm.

close the action, put one hand on the barrel and the other on the on the tip/front of the fore grip and pull apart. It should pop off the pull right off. after that open the action and then you can lift the barrel off
