Hey,

I was taking apart my new to me Stevens 520-30 Trench gun and noticed that one of the wire springs looked to be out of place. When dry firing I found that the action didn't unlock and I had to do it manually with the release button and I wonder if that out of place spring has something to do with it. I also wonder if the shotgun needs to actually be fired to release the action with recoil somehow. Pulling the pump handle forward a little bit after dry firing to replicate actual firing also didn't unlock the slide.

Could someone that owns one of these great shotguns take a picture of the left side of the trigger group showing the orientation of the wire springs so that I can compare and maybe rig mine up properly? I will try and post a picture of mine tonight for comparison sake.

Cheers,

Ian
 
That is the correct schematic, but it doesn't show how everything goes together. I need to see how this one wire spring is supposed to sit. Like I said, it looks like it has come out of where it is supposed to sit and sticks straight up when the hammer is cocked. There is no way in hell JMB designed everything beautifully and left the end of this wire spring sticking straight up and flopping around.

Where did you get that drawing from. I can't find it on gunparts any more. The only one they have on there now shows both the 520 and the 620 on the same page and the 520 is the double humpback version which is slightly different.
