Assembly Of Stoeger Coach Gun
Just bought a Stoeger Coach & cannot seem to assemble it. Two ears pivot on the front of the action, they get in the way when I try to put the forearm in place. Any Ideas??

its gotta be cocked.....
when you open the gun it will cock. it must be that way when you re-assemble it. I had to adjust the safety on mine, it kept creeping on after i shot the first round. after that i love it....

Mr. B. is correct, but that doesn't help get the gun cocked so it can be assembled if it has been uncocked. Those "ears" are the ends of the cocking cams. They are cocked by the foreend when it is in place. Without it, you have to force the "ears" up by pressing them against the sharp edge of a work bench or a wood block. That cocks the hammers and you should be able to assemble the gun.

New to the site.
New Stoeger coach gun.
Same problem.
Ears are in an up position at about a 45 degree angle from the bottom of the receiver.
Tried to force them down to cock hammers as Jim suggested.
Did not seem to budge.
Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I think I said, "up."

Cocking cams
I just had the same problem and found this thread. The direction of the cams travel is relative to the manner in which you approach the problem. I turned my gun triggers up and pressed the cams against a heavy vinyl cutting board on my table while keeping the break action lever in the open position. If you have a heavy work bench you could place the cocking cams against the bottom edge of the table and pull the gun upwards against it which would force the cams downward into the cocked position. Sorry if this is wordy, just trying to be clear since I was so frustrated when I did this.
