To disassemble a Winchester Model 97, first ensure the firearm is unloaded. Begin by removing the barrel by unscrewing the barrel nut after pushing the release button located on the right side of the receiver. Next, take out the magazine spring and follower through the magazine tube. Finally, remove the trigger guard and the trigger assembly to access the internal components for further disassembly. Always refer to a detailed manual for specific guidance and safety precautions.
