Check the barrel and receiver
To disassemble a Stevens Model 300 shotgun, first ensure the firearm is unloaded by checking the chamber and magazine. Next, remove the forearm by unscrewing the screw located at the front of the receiver. Then, unscrew the trigger guard and remove it, which will allow you to take out the trigger group. Finally, you can separate the barrel from the receiver by unscrewing the barrel nut. Always consult the manufacturer's manual for specific instructions and safety precautions.
