Not being smart, but you did take out both screws right? Some people miss the one under the cover, that's why I ask.
It might be a very tight fit, take out the bolt assemble and you might have to bang on it from inside the receiver.
I had one that was like this, locked the barrel in the vise (in case I scuffed the finish it would be hidden by the hand gaurd), used the large end of a 1/2 drive socket extension, then with a couple good wacks with a hammer it came out enough to wiggle it free.
Is something wrong with the furniture or you just don't like it? If you think you want to get rid of it let me know then
