Thanks again guys...I'll have another look at it tonight when I get home. One thing sticks out in my mind after looking at some forend pictures is there are two cams I see on other forends that sit on either side of the cocking plate...are these for ejectors? I'm pretty sure I don't have them in my forend...just open to wood as I recall. Not sure about the existence of a cocking plate...I'll report back tonight.
Thanks again for the help, I really appreciate it.
