Stevens 67 E series 12 ga. pump - problem
I looked thru all the Q & As and found several threads about the 67 E, but no reference to my problem. When I fire the gun, and try to eject the hull, the slide will not move until I press the release. It doesn't do this all the time, just sometimes. I have not took the gun apart to look at it yet. Thought I might get some info on what to look for when I take it down. Any help would be greatly appreciated. From what I can find about the gun, it is one of the later models. It has the choke tubes and the vented rib. The serial number is 3790xxxDN. Can anyone date it for me? Thanks for any info sent!
Oh, this is NOT when there are no shells left in the magazine. This is when the magazine has shells in it to be loaded that the slide won't move without pressing the release.
Sorry, wrong section. Please delete if this is the wrong section. I'm confused.

Tex...
I have a Savage Model 170 that does the exact same thing!
The action of the 170 is derived from the model 67.

About halfway down the article is the paragraph.....
-----------------------
Another key part in this slide lock assembly is the slide lock release spring. Like the slide lock spring, this little spring can be damaged easily. Most of the time, the spring is damaged by not being properly in place when the rifle is reassembled and fired. This part is not hard to obtain and interchanges in several models. The springs for the two-piece slide lock are also different from those in the one-piece slide. It is usually easy to straighten these to their original shape but remember, they all have a small bend close to the center. If this bend is not there, it will not work right.
-----------------------
I would guess that this spring has something to do with the problem. It shows as number 65 in the diagram in the article.
Hope this helps.

Red, I sure appreciate the info. I'll probably be 'caught up' with some things around the house later today and will check it out. I'll let you know what I find. Again, thanks!

I have a 67-H 12 ga pump and a model 170 pump 30-30 (actually a Revelation model 260 which is the Savage model 170 series B). when the gun is fired, there is a lug on the left side of the hammer which catches a hooked spring on the slide lock and pulls the release down & unlocks it.
the guns are really easy to dis-assemble. remove the buttplate, remove the stock, loosen the trigger assembly screw, tap out the trigger assembly pin (only goes 1 way), take out the trigger assembly screw, pull out the trigger assembly being careful to hold the slide lock onto the assembly until you see how it fits so that you will know how to re-assemble. slide the forearm towards the rear & use a screwdriver to gently pry the pump arm from the bolt. the bolt will the slide out the rear.
My 170 in 30-30 was having a terrible feed problem. I took it apart and polished everything with #0000 steel wool and lightly oiled everthing. be sure to remove the cartridge stop on the inside of the receiver and clean really good behind it. (there is a small nut on the screw holding the stop to the receiver - don't lose it). Just this cleaning made my rifle operate like new with no feed problems. I think my biggest problem was the rust & gunk behind the cartridge stop.
this article talks in detail about the slide lock operation and the dis-assemble and re-assembly. once you dis-assemble the gun a couple of times, it will only take about 5 minutes to completely take the gun apart and put it back together including removal of the fore arm & magazine.

Well, I finally got around to taking the 67E apart. I found that the hook of the spring was not even close to being caught by the 'pin' on the hammer. After about an hour of bending, rebending, etc., I think I have the problem solved. I won't know for sure until I get out to fire it few times. I may get a chance later today or tomorrow to try it.
Red, Wrangler, I found the website you referred me to be a lot of help. Thanks to all and I'll let you know as soon as I find out how well it works.

Got out with the pump yesterday. After a couple of shots, the slide started locking again. I'll try to get back into it again in a few days.
