Can't get the action assembly out of my Rem. 1100

[JettaKnight]

I bought a used 1100 at the 1500 so I can learn to shoot trap.

I managed to get the barrel off with some 'persuasion' (PB Blaster and light hammer taps). I removed the O ring and gaskets then released the bolt and removed the bolt handle. OK so far. But the instructions and video I watched show just pulling the action assembly right out the receiver and off the mag tube, but it just won't budge.

What am I doing wrong?

Oh, and yes, I did push in the feed ramp when trying to remove it.

did you push out the pins?

did you push out the pins?

No, The video and instructions show this AFTER removing the action. I think there might be some kind of latch hiding inside the receiver near the feed ramp.

You need to depress the shell stops inside the receiver.

Ah, I figured it out, kind of tricky if you don't know what to press.

PS - I hate when I buy a dirty gun.
