To break down a Model 58316 JC Higgins shotgun, first ensure the gun is unloaded and pointed in a safe direction. Open the action by pulling back the forearm, then remove the barrel by unscrewing the magazine cap. Next, separate the receiver from the stock by locating and removing the stock bolt, usually found at the rear of the receiver. Always refer to the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
