Hi Mel,
You ask about taking the barrel down........If it is attached to the stock with bands ONLY, then it should be quite easy, BUT if, as on some North African guns, the stock is totaly (or partly) wrapped in decorated brass, then it might be a good idea to leave it as it is.
Look forward to pics of the complete gun........
