870 fore end LOCKED on...

[Al T.]

Maclin, there are several of us who have the fore-end wrench. If you'll post a general location, we might be able to help.

Agreed. I'll send you mine if you cover return shipping.

I'll second the recommendation for the armorer's wrench. If you can, clamp the forend in a vise. If it's a wood forend, too much WD40 will cause the wood to swell and make your problem worse. You can try putting it in the freezer for an hour and see if loosens things up.

Edited: If you don't have a vise, it's very easy to distort the action bars, and new parts will be in your future.

Damn that sucks...guess I should've posted before trying to MacGruber it

Thank you gents. I'm in Eastern Montana. So...not close to much of anything

I think I have a line on one of the wrenches through a local contact. I'll find out tomorrow. If not I'll take one of y'all up on this and cover the shipping. I'll PM when I figure it out.

If Kroil and the metal armorer's wrench can't do it, it can't be done.

Well, only if you want to exclude C-4 and det cord from your tool box.

Where's the fun in that?

Gents,

Thanks so much for the advice and the offer. The local PD had a wrench and it worked like a champ. Just had to get past a little corrosion.

Thanks again for the offer for the tool, guys. Great to be a part of a community with nice gun peeps.
