Tap out the pin that secures the front of the trigger guard. This will allow you to access the inside of the receiver. The bolt carrier and bolt come out the bottom, once the guard assembly has been removed.
 
I only noticed how old the thread was after I "bumped it up". Sorry, I used the search function for some info on my shotgun, as I know nothing about when these were made.
2 threads came up, this is the second. I'll wipe the cobwebs off the thread, but , the question still needs to be answered.
 
I had the same problem. I've got a Savage 30E that nobody has any info about. I managed to track down a manual for it at Rediscovered Shooting Treasures.

I'm picking it up tomorrow, but it claims to be a scanned and re-printed original. I've been looking for a manual for 7 months. From the looks of it, we have the same shotgun with different trim levels. Mine has the ribbed forearm and some mild engraving of something resembling pheasants on the receiver and a jeweled bolt. It was in pretty rough shape when I bought it for 40 bucks, and I'm slowly picking away at refinishing the wood and re-bluing it.
 
I traded a savage 340 bolt in .30-30 for this. I just don't use wood/blued guns up here in the north, (at least rifles) but everyone needs a 12 guage.
I have the "Gun digest" bible of all guns (10,000 rifles/pistols/shotguns etc from 1880 till the present and this is not in there. I wonder if it was a sub-contracted gun (like the kind that they made for sears and other department stores) and the fact that it has
"Canadian sportsman" model 269 -E on the top line and savages U.S. address below it.
Can't imagine Savage putting out a "Canadian" lineup of anything. Could anyone shed some more life on this question. This sure is a well made and stout gun. The action is strong steel and thick.
 
Nah, the JC Higgins were the worst by far, though Mossberg did try to take the title with the Maverick in it's first few years of production. But that would be a separate thread.
 
i don't have a listing for the 269 in either my 18th or my 24 series gunparts- that's WHY we keep those old catalogues around- maybe drop a line to numrich to see if they have any insights - i do have a listing for the 30, though- probably it's one of 2 things- the model number changed when it was made in canada- that was common with cooey, cil, winchester savage, etc- or it's such a limited production or so old it's been dropped from the catalogue way back when- you could also write savage
or western gunparts in edmonton- they've got all sorts of wierd stuff up there and a gunsmith/partsman that saw the ark land
 
Took lots of these apart-similar models are 67,77 etc.The trigger housing pin should exit to the left.Also did warranty on them too.
If you need help,let me know.
 
They were used in the Vietnam War by the US Military, and there are military manuals for it (77, 67, etc same gun ), also, you can get exploded views of it: here is one http://w w w .nicolausassociates.com/images/Poster-Stevens-Model-77E-22X34-Reduced.jpg If you look stevens 77 vietnam on google images there are some pics of it.
 
####tiest design EVER!!! Or at least that I have taken apart. The gun actually cost me a friendship. Not my gun but I said I could probably fix it. He took that to mean that it was going to be a brand new gun when he got it back.
