Winchester Model 1200

Field Strip Guide

 

 

  • Unscrew the magazine cap. This also holds the barrel on.

 

 

  • Pull the barrel straight away from the receiver.

 

 

  • The metal object is the magazine spring retainer. With some work (or not) it will pull out. There is also the plug, spring, and follower.

 

 

  • This is the spanner wrench that you should have for your chokes.

 

 

  • Use the spanner wrench to unscrew forearm cap. Once removed, the forearm will slide off the tube.

 

 

  • To remove the trigger assembly, use a punch to remove this pin. Then pull the trigger assembly out of the receiver.

 

 

  • Next we remove the ejector. Use your thumb to depress the rod enough to lift it off the pin and then slide it out the front.

 

 

  • The slide arm bridge screw must be removed before removing the bolt assembly from the receiver

 

 

  • Pull the slide arms off the tube, but take care to not allow the bolt assembly to fall freely.

 

 

  • Hold it together so the slide arm bridge (circled) does not fall off. The firing pin and firing spring are under pressure and the slide arm bridge holds them together.

 

 

  • Keep pressure on the firing pin while lifting off the slide arm bridge.

 

  • Everything should be taken part enough for a proper cleaning. The trigger assembly may be covered in the future.
