I NITIAL C LEANING
Some metal parts of your new Model 94 have been coated
at the factory with a rust preventative compound. Before
using your Model 94, clean the anti-rust compound
from the inside of the barrel, receiver, cartridge feed
mechanism and the action/chamber areas. A high quality,
light gun oil should be used to remove this compound and
to give your new gun its first lubrication. Clean the barrel
using a cleaning rod and patch as explained under
“Cleaning and Maintenance Suggestions” found later in
this manual. Lubrication suggestions are outlined below.
If your new Model 94 is for collector’s purposes only, it is
permissible to leave the rust preventative compound in
place and keep your Model 94 in its box for maximum
protection during long term storage.
O ILING THE ACTION
Before the first firing of your Model 94 you should first
wipe the mechanism completely clean, clean the bore and
apply a few drops of quality oil on the following surfaces
(Figure 2):
• Along the breech bolt surface.
• On each side of the vertical locking lug on the top
and bottom.
