I've got a 1931 dated Winchester 1897 12 gauge takedown and it won't break down. Also just noticed what looks like some missing steel from the receiver. I will post pics later on today, but I'm looking for help.

Are you pushing the pin through the tube to right side before twisting the tube?The tube is stuck and won't rotate.
I think after pushing the pin through the mag tube, you have to push the action slide forward a few inches.I'll try that tomorrow 3clicks_Off . I am pushing the pin to the right.
