Any suggestions?

Hi there,
I took my Remington 11-87 apart yesterday to clean it.
When putting it back together the action is stuck solid and won't move to allow me to re-assemble the gun.
anyone have any clues as to what's happening here and a possible solution?
The gun was shooting fine yesterday.

Take the trigger unit out should sort the problem
Make sure trigger is in cocked position before putting it back in

pm me if you have further problems should be simple to sort

It was easy once we worked it out, been a good few years from when I fully stripped my 11-87, seems like a lifetime ago it was sold.
Those wee nicks on the fingers are annoying tho haha.
Happy to help you out anytime matey, enjoy the pies.

@jonny.c the V prongs on the cocking mechanism had popped out the recoil spring cup going into the stock.
I just forgot that wee lever on the inside you have to push in to get the firing pin block out, once I remembered that it was plain sailing.
Gave all the gubbings inside a clean for him, at least he won't need to take it apart again haha.
