Those ARE the three grooves. You don't have a handguard on your shotguns, not sure why you need instructions on how to remove it.
Ok, so what do the three grooves signify?
And sorry if "handguard" is the wrong nomenclature. What I meant to say it how do you remove the wood-grainy ribbed thingy the slides back and forth on the boomstick.

The 3 grooves are what allowed the screws that attached the bayonet adaptor to the round barrel to reach the threaded part of the adaptor on the other side. Usually they are milled into the barrel and signify an original trenchgun.
As for removing the forend, do you mean removing the wood from the slide, or the slide from the gun?
You need a TM.

Thanks for in the info. So was there such a thing as a commercial trench gun?
I just want to replace the wood with another I have. If it's a complicated procedure, don't worry about trying to describe it here.
TM - technical manual?

Yes there were Model 97 commercial trench guns. The one that Sct. Rock pictured a few messages above with the brass buttplate is a commerical trench gun. The brass buttplate is indicative of a commercial trench gun, and the Military trench guns were all made under a Military contract (i.e., they were specifically ordered by the Government).

OK, what did I do wrong? I just took out the magazine spring and plug, but once I put them back on I can't work the actions. It was working fine prior to that.

Disregard, I figured out on my own that you can't work the action if the hammer is half-cocked.

Yes, I did pick them up from the Alderfer auction, as well as a Garand. I'm selling one (currently on GB, so anyone who notices any factual mistakes in my listing please let me know) and will keep one.
