How do you disassemble a 12 gauge shotgun?

To disassemble a 12 gauge shotgun, first ensure the shotgun is unloaded by removing any shells from the chamber and magazine. Next, open the action to visually confirm it's clear, then depending on the model, you may need to remove the forend by unscrewing the forend nut or releasing a latch. After that, separate the barrel from the receiver by either pulling a release lever or unscrewing the barrel nut. Finally, consult the specific owner's manual for any additional steps or model-specific disassembly instructions.
