Been sitting in the vault barrel up for 20+ years. Took it out to show one of the grandkids how a pump functioned. Was froze up! Couldn't even pull the fore end down to pump it. Didn't want to force anything. Before I just shoot it up with lub I'd thought I'd ask if there is something I might be missing here? Thanks

did you push the slide lock release?............or push the forend forward first
I had the exact thing happen when I soaked a Model 12 with WD-40 and let it sit for a year. Completely frozen. Got it good and hot with a hair dryer then used a bunch of solvent on it. Finally got it freed up.
