Stevens Savage 320 Pump Disassembly

[@johnnylaw348]

I won this model shotgun about 7 years ago, and only recently decided to take it out and shoot it. I was surprised at how much I liked it. Thank you for doing this video, and know that even in late 2021, it is still helping others.

I bought it because I was on a budget many many years ago now that I can afford a few different types this is still my go to a very simple and super reliable

Very helpful. I was able to get my shotgun apart, cleaned, and back together in a half-hour. Thanks!

Taking the forend stock off is the pain. It's not even featured.🙄

[@DJerseyshoremtv]

took my brothers apart, put it back together, and put it away. only to find a spring laying onda floor. So I took a guess and put it with the firing pin. And thanks to your video, i was able to confirm what i did was correct. THANK YOU

[@SpareTimeProjects]

You are very welcome! That's one of the most frustrating things in the world knowing you have to take a gun back apart to put something back, so I'm glad I could help!

Very thorough and informative. My neighbor asked me to help him clean his and upgrade the furniture to hardwood. This definitely gave me a leg up on helping him do it. Thanks!

I can takedown and reassemble a M16 A1 Rifle blindfolded, shotguns not so much. About 15 years ago I bought my first shotgun at Cabala’s. It is a Stevens 320, all I cleaned on it was the barrel and the outside. Thank You for the video!!

[@OpMrRezFreak21]

Thanks for doing this video, as someone who is still learning to strip down their guns this video came in handy.

[@RobertVince-qu9mm]

Thank you so much for this video!!! I just purchased one of these and didn't move the slide back before installing the barrel. Your video allowed me to take the barrel back off, but I needed to nearly disassemble completely the shotgun in order to get the barrel off so i could reinstall it properly.

[@JG-sp2dn]

This video helped a million. Straight to the point, no babbling on and on, thank you

[@SpareTimeProjects]

Glad I could be helpful!

[@rustykeller8264]

To disassemble my Stevens 320, I simply remove the screw sling/barrel keeper. I leave the slide all the way forward in shooting position. I just pull on the barrel and it comes out. Then I just pull on the forward grip, and the complete bolt assembly comes out. The gun is dissembled for cleaning in about 10 seconds. To reassemble, do the opposite, but when you slide the bolt assembly, and pump action back into the gun, you have to pry out slightly on the tube magazine keeper (the little bent piece of metal inside the receive,r that keeps shells from coming out of the tube magazine until you cycle the pump action). It's very quick and painless. Give it try. That way you don't have to go through all those extra steps in your video unless you want to take the trigger housing out for cleaning.

[@SpareTimeProjects]

Sounds simple enough, thanks! I just showed how to remove the trigger assembly in case anyone needed to know.

[@rustykeller8264]

sparetimeprojects6 I found your trigger assy removal informative. Thanks. I've heard that 320's have a nasty habit of breaking internally. Usually, broken operating rods that are only tack welded to the pump tube. I took that part of mine apart today, and one of them was broken. It had separated where it was tack welded. I got out my wire-feed welder and welded it back on, and also welded the unbroken one. What ever else fails on the gun, I don't think the operating rods will ever fail again. I'd suggest everyone disassemble their gun and take a look at those. If they are only tack welded, weld them, or have them welded for some peace of mind about the reliability of their shotgun.

[@SpareTimeProjects]

Rusty Keller I'm glad my video may have helped you out. I know what you are talking about because I remember thinking it seemed silly to not just completely weld them instead of tacking them. Next time I get the time, I will probably weld mine to be safe. Thanks for the advice! Feel free to subscribe to my channel

[@freedomislife5887]

Nive video, but I found out with this specific shotgun you actually dont have to remove the butt stock to remove the trigger housing. Just removing the pin is enough. Great video though. I definitely learned alot.

[@cultfriction5556]

This is definitely a cheapy shotgun, one of many I’ve owned, and is actually my only shotgun at the moment. They’re prone to breaking, they sometimes don’t hold shells well, like to double eject shells, and the stock will occasionally loosen. Despite all that, I love mine, treat it well and do regular maintenance. If you can afford better, then buy better, but I spent 145$ for mine and at that value I don’t mind a little extra maintenance/TLC.

[@disarmyou84]

Is this the same disassembly procedure for a routine cleaning and lubrication?

[@johnb7346]

Had an absolute fit trying to separate the fore grip from main action. Twisted, pulled, everything, and I'm a big guy. Was afraid I was going to break it. Finally separated.

[@codymoncrief8478]

To remove the cam pin in the bolt, you can insert a punch through a small hole in the top of the bolt and tap or push it out -Warning: it is a bit of a PITA to reassemble this if you take it apart. *Also, the bolt can be installed "upside down" in the carrier body, which means the extractor will be on the wrong side. This will make the gun to load and fire normally, but cause a shell to become stuck in the chamber after firing

[@michaelekstrom9641]

Now I know what shotgun I won't be buying thanks to that pistol grip

[@m3g474rd13]

Awesome vid, thanks for that. Though I did find it a lil easier to pop the pin out if you attack it from the left side with a couple of taps by hand with the punch :)

[@SpareTimeProjects]

Glad I could help! And I will have to keep that in mind next time!

[@jamiesloan5902]

Actually almost all guns are designed to disassemble, tapping it out from the left, then, insert the pins back in, from the right. You are correct on that.

[@jimfields4393]

There is a small hole in the top of the bolt. If you line up the rotation pin with the hole, it will punch right out. Be prepared to capture the larger spring behind it when you pull the punch out. When you reassemble, you have to line up the hole in the rotation pin with the direction of the firing pin. Easy peasy lemon squeezey.

Great stuff!! I just got the new thumb-hole security 20g. Question: would it be good to fill the empty space in stock with cotton (or such) to reduce recoil even more?

[@cornelljames4920]

GREAT VIDEO!!! you broke it down very well for me to understand. i have had mine for about a year and i dont shoot it much, so only put about 25 rounds through it. But my question is, is there a way to take the thumb safety switch off? or somehow disconnect it....my hands are a little to small for my thumb to reach it. Any thoughts?

[@SpareTimeProjects]

I'm sure there is a way to disable it, but I'm not sure how you would do it. Personally if I didn't like a safety on a gun, I just wouldn't use it. If you have a gunsmith or anyone disable a function of the gun, you hurt the resale value significantly. Just my opinion, sorry I can't be more helpful.

The problem I have is getting to spring out of the mag tube. The cap is so tight you need a screw driver to get it out and pliers to get in back in the tube. Either something is wrong or I'm missing something. I'm putting in a better spring and follower from S&J hardware, but I can't believe this spring cap should be so hard to remove and replace.

[@bobbyb7127]

Do you have to remove the trigger group before you can remove the bolt assembly from the receiver?

[@OhioOwns]

went to put my barrel back on after cleaning and the ejector pin in the chamber won't allow the barrel to go back on properly unless the pump is all the way back, then the pin gets in the way and won't let it slide forward after I get the barrel back on. I don't understand what's up with it heh

[@MrGraywolf360]

Great video helped me out tremendously one question what do you think about pulling the plug to make it hold 6 in the tube instead of 5

[@SpareTimeProjects]

Thanks, glad I could help! I'm not sure, but I think the plug in this gun is more of a stop than a plug. By that, I mean that it might just keep the shells from pushing all the way to the end of the tube, and another 2 3/4 shell wouldn't fit in the tube even if you took it out. I could be wrong but that's what I am thinking. I'm not near the gun to be able to check though.
