Winchester Model 62 pump

[Rogmatt]

Has anyone here ever removed the forearm off a win 62 pump 22?

I have the old rossi made Interarms Model, and i remember having a hard time removing the forearm. I am helping a friend restore a rusty Win. 62, but forgot how the forearm comes off.
Thanks for any help.

Isn't there an escutcheon on each side of the forearm pressed into the wood, pretty close to the rear? Unscrew the screws in the escutcheons and that should do it. Before you do that, you have to remove the mag tube. Then the action bar can detach from the receiver.
