I need instructions, preferably with photos, for disassembling and reassembling a Winchester Model 94. If it makes a difference, mine has no half-cock or safety. |

Find a copy of the Centerfire Rifles Firearms Assembly/Disassembly book. It has what you need. I bought mine at Borders or you can order off Amazon or the like. Worth the $24. I have the whole set at the shop. BTW, there are at least 5 substantial design changes in 94s over the years so any instructions may be a little different than your gun. |

94 aren't too difficult to take appart if you are used to working on mechanical things. Some things to look for to tell which 94 you have: Is it angle eject? Does it have a cutout on the right hand receiver side or is the top receiver edge a straight line from the barrel to the hammer? Is it post '64 or pre. Does it have a pin holding the bottom portion of the receiver that pivots out with the lever or does it have a screw? I'm not familiar with the angle eject models that may have a rebounding hammer rather than a half cock notch. Other than the hammer and trigger components it should be the same as all the others. I guess the most important question is: why do you wish to take it appart? If you decide you must take it appart I can help guide you. I must warn you its been a few years since I've had one appart.

If it's just for cleaning, you'ld be better off cleaning the barrel from the muzzle and wiping out the action from the top. You will be hours ahead. OTOH if you still want to take it appart I'll monitor this thread for your response. ETA: Hey look what I found using Google: '94 disassembly Another from the NRA Kent |
This is one of those "unless otherwise impossible" cases. While not as "impossible" as cleaning a Garand from the breach. The level of dissassembly required to clean from the breach makes it "impossible" in real life. If you use a bore guide there is no reason to dissassemble the gun and the concerns of wearing out the rifling at the muzzle are no longer valid. ETA: You could always use a bore snake. They seem to get good reviews though I have never used one. Kent |
