Engage the rear portion of the forearm (forearm bracket) with the action (Figure 7). 6 Pivot the forearm up to the barrel tightly. This will cause the takedown lever latch to engage onto the barrel. It may be necessary to depress the takedown lever latch. It should be flush with the wood on the underside of the forearm. The forearm and latch can be installed in one motion by positioning the forearm as shown and tapping the forearm's widest part sharply toward the barrel with the heel of your hand (Figure 8). The takedown lever latch should then automatically lock into position. CAUTION - WHEN ASSEMBLING YOUR BT-99 SHOTGUN, DO NOT USE UNDUE FORCE IN CLOSING THE ACTION. If the action and barrel are not properly aligned, undue force will only cause them to grind together and score or mar the finely fitted surface. If there appears to be interference, start over at Step 2, being careful to mate and align the barrel lug and the receiver hinge pin properly.
