Winchester Repeating Arms 94 Top Tang Safety (Historic Manual) User Manual
Page 15
Continually be aware of the position of the manual
hammer stop/safety on your rifle. Check it both manually
and visually to avoid any chance of accidental discharge.
Always keep the manual hammer stop/safety in the “on”
position unless you are actually firing the rifle. It is a good
idea to keep the action open (with the finger lever down)
at all times other than when you are in the field and
shooting is imminent.
Important: It is always recommended that the action be
kept open at all times when your rifle is laying on any
bench or table at a shooting range or other facility.
Always keep the muzzle of your rifle pointed in a safe
direction. Failure to follow the above instructions could
result in injury or death to yourself or others.

TANG MANUAL HAMMER STOP

SAFETY
:
When the safety manual hammer stop/safety is pushed all
the way forward it is in the “off” position (Figure 3B).
This is the position of the safety when firing is imminent.
In this position, when the trigger is pulled, the cocked
hammer will fall and strike the firing pin. If a cartridge is
in the chamber, the firing pin will strike the primer and
fire the cartridge.
To place the manual hammer stop/safety in the “off” or
firing position:
First, point your rifle in a safe direction, then push the
safety fully forward, covering the “S” inscribed on the
rifle, and exposing the red warning dot. When the red
dot is visible the safety is in the “off” position (Figure 3B).
The safety can be actuated with the hammer in the
rebound or cocked position.

EBOUNDING HAMMER SAFETY
:
Cocked position. This is the position that the hammer is
moved to when firing is imminent (Figure 7). It is also the
position the hammer moves to when the action is cycled
using the finger lever.
