Savage 520 & 620 shotguns

warmgun
I have one each of these shotguns,and both have failed in the same manner.The operating rod that connects the pump to the bolt separated at the bolt.It is only held on by a hook at the end of the op rod.Is there a long term repair available for this?

    This brings me back Army memories of almost 50 years ago. We had some of these in Riot configuration and they were unreliable jamming junk that couldn't really be put right. In no way were they equal to the other brands of pump gun we had.Unless you're a collector,I'd advise to get them going and sell them.

    RIGHT YOU ARE V35, THESE DIDN'T WORK VERY GOOD WHEN THEY WERE NEW AND A LITTLE WEAR MADE THEM MUCH WORST. IF THEY ARE BROKE LEAVE THEM THAT WAY.

    hello-the fix is to take the forearm off of the barrel assembly and take the wood off and then with a punch,probably a 5/16, tighten the rivets that hold the slide arm to the forearm tube. do so by inseting the punch through the 2 holes in the tube and haveing a bucking type metal (anvel/vice) back the rivets and useing a good hammer tighten the rivets. you can tell before you take it all apart if the rivets are loose,the slide will apear loose from the handle. i have these shotguns and this seems to fix the problem you discribe for me. interesting shotgun.....am looiking for a 20ga with a ribed barrel if anyone knows of one for sale

    Do you fix these guns for others?? And is so how much??It seems that there are several of us that have these guns that need repair.

    no don't fix any but my own,i find them a facinating shotgun to fool with,kind of nastalgic and they were a supposed favorite for al capone in the chicago days. there seems to be a lot of parts for them available but not much information espicially with the serial numbers and years of manufacture. i have a severe case of fiddleides,i like messing with mechanical stuff like these shotguns.did you check the loose rivits and did tightening them help you?
