I've got an old Stevens 820B that I picked up for next to nothing. I know they are pretty cheaply made, I primarily purchased it to practice bluing.

I have dismantled everything except I can't decipher the trick for getting the bolt and pump rod out of the receiver. Would like to take the gun completely apart so that I can do a complete job on it. Anyone know what I am missing? I can't see a pin, catch, or any sort of relief cut that would seem to do the trick.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

It's been awhile but I think I can help you here - if it doesn't go as I recall then send me a PM and I will dig out the old one I have here and re-check .

As I recall you remove the butt stock & trigger housing assy from the gun, then slide the bolt all the way to the rear. Once in that position you can take a small screw driver and flex the rear tail of the operating rod inward to clear the notch of the bolt carrier. Then slide the bolt & carrier out of the rear of the receiver ,and the operating rod and forarm will remove toward the front.

If my recall is not correct just holler and I will double check - like I said , it has been awhile.
