Marlin Disassembly help!!!!!

ker2222

I am in the middle of a project and I seem to have forgotten a step. I have a Marlin 1894 with the action and rear stock completely removed laying on my table. I want to remove the forestock and magazine tube as well and as far as I remember, they should now just fall off. But they both seem to be being held in. I am pretty sure that all they need is a little pressure, but I really hate to force anything and break something.

Can anyone give me a brief summary of how to remove the mag and forestock so I can double check and see if I missed some step???? Please!!!
