I have all the screws out of this and I can't tell what's holding the barrel in. Also the trigger assembly will not come out, and I can't tell whats holding that in either.

This is only marked as a "Jukar Spain" gun, in stainless steel which is why I do all my testing in it. Today I wanted to completely clean the thing - and I cannot get the barrel out. It won't lift up or slide forward. Something is holding it in but I can't find it.

Have you tapped on the underside of the front of the barrel? what does the underside of the fore stock look like? the trigger assy looks like the wood may have swelled around it and pinched it in? was the guard tight in the wood?
 
Starting with trigger plate, use the tang screw retrograde to trigger plate, then us it as a handle to rock the plate out of the (likely) swollen wood mortise. This will quickly confirm if this is a tight fitting piece. Alternatively, place a large standard flat screwdriver blade behind trigger and again, try to rock plate out.
If this confirms a tight mortise, then you may assume the same is true with barrel channel and add some force to it as well.

You don't show the nose cap. If it is what I think, there are two screws in the nose cap

Hard to see from the pics posted, but I think you're on to the solution. OP should check to see if there's a screw in the underside of the stock that's holding the barrel in under the nose cap. I think I can see the shadow of one in the third pic.
 
Turned out the front ramrod retaining piece actually held the barrel in too. I had not taken that off.

Then I got a bizarre malfunction - the gun would not go to full cock. However, the lock was fine out of the gun. By reassembling it piece by piece I found it worked all the way to putting the very last piece on - the trigger guard. Seems there was a piece of that pushing up on the part behind the trigger. So I ground that part off. Now it works.
