treeinwalker Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I have a Stevens model 67 series "E" .410 pump shotgun. This gun was a Christmas present from my dad when I was in the 4th grade. I squirrel hunted with this gun for years until a few years ago when I began having trouble with the gun jamming. When a shot is fired, the next round in the magazine tube will jump over the tang on the "slide" as all the parts diagrams call it. I have been looking for a solution to this problem for the past 5 years. I have contacted all the manufacturers and online gunsmith shops such as Savage and Brownell's. I have had this gun at 3 different gunsmiths around here and none of theme were able to fix it or agree with me as to what exactly the problem is. Well, I'm not a gunsmith, but as it turns out I do know a thing or 3 about mechanisms and design. It is aparrent to me that if I ever want this gun in usable condition again I am going to have to fix it my self. I know that the tang on the slide assembly is worn and is too short. I need to weld it up and reshape it to get it back to its original dimension. If you have one of these guns turn the gun upside down and load a shell into the magazine. The spring in the magazine tube keeps pressure on the shell so that it rests against the "tang" on the slide. The spring pressure that is keeping the shell against the tang allows the shell to follow the slide back, where at the end of the stroke, it is dropped onto the lifter, which then kicks the shell up in front of the bolt as the entire action is moving forward. Then, the bolt pushes the shell into the chamber. On my gun the tang on the slide is worn. When I fire a round, the next shell in the magazine jumps over the tang. When this happens, the lifter is now jammed because the entire action needs to move all the way back before the shell is dropped onto the lifter. I know this sounds a little hard to follow, but if you have one of these guns, just turn it over and load a shell. You will instantly see how the shell rests against the tang. I need to know the dimension of that tang. If anyone out there has this EXACT model and feels confident disassembling and reassembling it, please measure this dimension with calipers (as shown in the photos below) and let m know what it is. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated. On a side note, I appreciate ALL the help I can possibly get with this, but please understand that I have exhausted every possible resource for replacing this part. Unless you know of someone who has one of these guns and could help me or would like to sell me theirs for parts, please do not post blind links to gun parts websites unless you happen to know for 100% certain that they have the part I need and it is in stock. As noted above I have been going through every possible resource and lead for the past 5 years and I have heard/seen them all. No one has this part and no one has been able to help me so far. So, unless you have seen this part or a parts gun on the internet for absolute certain, please don't make any blind suggestions or post any blind links. I don't want to come off as rude at all, but I either need a direct answer as to the dimension that the tang is supposed to be or a direct link to this part or a gun that is for sale for spare parts Thanks. The current dimension is .620" as shown in the last photo. I need to know what this dimension is off of a working .410 ga. Thanks again.
