savage 24 v will not break open

Have a Savage 24 v that will not break open. Push the lever and nothing so removed butt stock and the lever assembly and tried to manually move the bar that releases the action but it will not move. It is clean inside no rust or debris how can I make this thing open? Also unscrewed the fore end but it will not come off with the barrels closed. Any cures with detail or pics would help as I have combed the internet looking for a cure to no avail in spite of having the schematic.
Thanks

The part that holds the barrels closed, is called the "locking bolt assembly". If you have removed the lever that opens the barrels with all it's associated parts? The only other part retaining the "locking bolt assembly", is a traverse pin through the receiver. It is located approximately half way between the bottom of the receiver, and the hammer.
Use a packing hook to pull back on part #45. Pull hard on forearm it should come off with barrels closed. Look at screw #53 and cam #52.
You might want to check the firing pins to make sure they aren't wedged forward essentially locking the breach.
