up on the slide arm bridge and disengage the curved

tongue on the slide arm bridge from the groove in the

firing pin. This will detach the slide arm bridge from

the breech bolt slide.

2. The firing pin is under spring tension and will snap out

the rear of the breech bolt when your forefinger

releases it. Control the pin as you remove the firing pin

and spring.

For cleaning purposes no further dismantling is necessary

or recommended. Do not disassemble your Model 1300

further than shown in Figure 11 shown on page 20. Doing

so may void your warranty. For repairs that require further

disassembly contact a Winchester Firearms Authorized

Service Center or a qualified gunsmith as explained under

“Parts, Service, Repair and Questions” on page 27.

REASSEMBLY OF THE FIRING PIN, BREECH BOLT AND

SLIDE (12 GAUGE ONLY) —

1. Reinstall the firing pin spring over the firing pin.

Either end of the spring can go on first.

2. Insert the firing pin/spring assembly into the rear

opening of the bolt slide, pin end first.

3. To reinstall the bolt assembly on the slide arm bridge,

push or compress the “knob end” of the firing pin

sufficiently into the hole in the bolt slide so that the

large space between the grooved “knob” and the flange

on the firing pin is centered in the round hole in the

bolt slide.

4. Place the curved tongue, located on the slide arm

bridge, into the space between the knob and flange and

slowly release pressure on the end of the firing pin. Let

the flange on the pin pull the tongue toward the rear of

the bolt assembly. This should hold the breech bolt

assembly and the slide arm bridge together during

further assembly.

5. With the firing pin and breech bolt now assembled,

engage the slide arm bridge into the matching cuts on

the slide arms (Figure 14).

6. Hold the slide arms and bolt/slide arm bridge

assemblies together. Start the forearm assembly

onto the magazine tube.
