This page hosts the complete disassembly walkthrough for the Savage Arms / Springfield Model 67F pump-action shotgun. These videos were originally part of a detailed educational series demonstrating the safe breakdown of this platform for maintenance, inspection, and repair.
After the original videos were removed from YouTube, they have been permanently restored and archived here to ensure the information remains available to the firearms community. The Model 67 and its variants remain common in circulation, and proper maintenance knowledge helps owners keep these shotguns running safely and reliably.
The videos below walk through the process step-by-step, starting with the stock components and working forward through the action and operating system. Each segment focuses on a specific component so viewers can quickly reference the step they need without having to search through a longer video.
Buttplate Removal
The first step in the process is removing the buttplate from the rear of the stock. This exposes the internal access point used to remove the stock bolt and separate the stock from the receiver. The video shows the correct screw locations and demonstrates the proper method to avoid damaging the buttplate or stripping the fasteners.
Stock Removal
With the buttplate removed, the stock can be separated from the receiver. This step provides access to the rear of the receiver and the internal components housed within the stock. The video walks through the process of removing the stock bolt and safely separating the wooden stock from the action.
Trigger Assembly Removal
This segment covers removing the trigger group from the receiver. The trigger assembly contains the fire control components of the shotgun, and removing it allows access to the internal action parts. The video demonstrates how to remove the trigger housing safely and how it interfaces with the receiver.
Magazine Tube Removal
The magazine tube houses the shotgun’s ammunition and spring assembly. This video shows how the tube is secured to the receiver and how to remove it for cleaning, maintenance, or replacement. Proper handling of the magazine spring and follower is also discussed.
Bolt/Slide Assembly and Operating Handle Bar Removal
This portion of the disassembly focuses on the bolt slide assembly and operating handle bar. The video demonstrates how these components interact within the receiver and how to remove them correctly without forcing or damaging the internal action parts.
Operating Handle Bar/Forend Disassembly
The final segment covers separating the forend from the operating handle bar assembly. This step completes the breakdown of the primary operating components of the shotgun and allows inspection of the forend hardware and action bar components.
Model Compatibility and Notes
The Savage Arms / Springfield Model 67F pump shotgun belongs to a family of closely related pump-action designs produced by Savage and sold under several brand names over the years. While small variations exist between production runs, the general layout of the receiver, trigger group, bolt slide assembly, and operating components remains consistent across many variants.
Because of this shared design, the disassembly process demonstrated in this series will often apply to other shotguns in the same lineage, including models sold under the Savage, Springfield, and store-brand labels during the same production era.
Owners should always verify the exact model and configuration of their firearm before beginning disassembly. Differences in stock hardware, magazine tube design, or internal components can exist depending on the specific variant and year of manufacture.
These videos are intended as an educational reference for understanding how the major components of the Model 67F platform interact and come apart during routine maintenance and inspection.
