C LEANING AND M AINTENANCE S UGGESTIONS
The Model 94 will function better and more reliably over
a longer period of time if it is properly maintained and
kept clean.
BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING
PROCEDURES, ALWAYS MAKE CERTAIN
THERE ARE NO CARTRIDGES IN THE CHAMBER,
MAGAZINE OR ACTION/FEED AREAS.
You should clean your Model 94 after every day of
shooting and more often if it becomes excessively dirty.
A minimum cleaning includes wiping down the action
and oiling key parts. Most regular maintenance will also
include cleaning the barrel. If you encounter a function
problem (tight action when working the finger lever), be
sure to give your gun a thorough cleaning to see if it
solves the problem before seeking the services of one of
our Authorized Repair Centers, our service facility or a
competent gunsmith.
To clean your firearm, follow the general outline below:
