    Where is the adjustments in the forearm to loosen the Pivoting opening, It has had several 1,000 shells shot but is very hard to open and close yet. My manual does not give any details about it. It says it can be adjusted in Brochure, and on their website, has anyone done this adjustment? I used the CMD grease several times on hinge points and pivot points. It made Brownings very easy after use on them.

    OK I got the opening and closing working much better, with the Forearm Off, Using the Largest Factory Supplied Allen Wrench turn the Large set screw next to the small set screw where the Forearm goes over the Bbl Lug, Turn it CCW 1/8th turn-One Flat on Allen Wrench and the Opening and closing is much easier

    Doc,
    Use some baby powder on the hinge point to free it up it and then wipe it off ... I have done this to prevent scratches on the metal surfaces, works good ... WPT ... (YAC) ...

    Hi Gary,
    I have the same Triwood gun. There is a locking screw with the adjustment screw. Its small, the other screw holds the furniture. Mine kept loosening and gun wouldn't cock, so l took the block and screw out clean the pieces and the furniture, leve the furniture in the forearm, with rubbing alcohol and compressed air. Reasemble with locktite, let set overnight, and its been fine, l buggered up the baby lockscrew, Fabarm sent me whatever l needed no charge.
    I put Kicks smoke chokes in and my scores are highest ever, a 015 and 025.
    Love the gun, and its beautiful. I just shoot non ATA, league and such. Im just east of you Madison, Wi.
