Normandy 88 (1 Viewer)

[Fullyautomatic]

So I finally decided to take this item out of the box and display it. Yeah I know its been a long time since it was purchased and getting it displayed but....So far so good and am impressed with the detail. No broken parts yet so here is the question. How does the gun shield fit properly? Could someone please take a from the top down picture so I can see how the two bars fit into place or where exactly they fit? Looks like something needs to help support the barrel if in any elevation position as the weight of the shield presses it back down to zero elevation.
Any help appreciated...thanks!
