    Are you wnating to just take the barrel assembly off or do you want to dismantle the gun further?
    If you want to only take the barrel assembly off just
    1-At the muzzel end of the magazine tube you will see a lever.
    2-Pull the lever out perpendicular to the barrel and begin to turn the lever counterclockwise .This will turn the entire magazine tube.
    3-Once you have turned the lever enough so that it is free you then MUST open the action of the gun to remove the extractor from the barrel
    4- Turn the barrel assembly a quarter turn and the thing should come out of the receiver easily

    Good luck

    Twist the barrel assembly clockwise as viewed from the top.
