G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Winchester
Model 9410 shotgun — certainly one of the most unique
and fun-to-shoot guns ever. The original Winchester
Model 94 design is famous for fast handling and natural
pointability. No wonder it lends itself so well to a
chambering in .410 bore with a smoothbore, unrifled
barrel. Whether you are after squirrels, rabbits, upland
birds, rodents or even bigger varmints or game (using
slugs) the Model 9410 will prove to be as effective as it is
enjoyable. The Model 9410 can also be an inventive way
to boost the fun of clay target shooting.
This manual covers versions of the Model 9410 shotgun
that feature the following:
• Advanced rebounding hammer and top-tang hammer-
blocking safeties.
• Standard Invector™ or cylinder choked barrels.
• Positive angle ejection (ejection out the side, to the
right, for better ejection when using a scope).
• A special extractor/ejector design offers positive,
controlled ejection with shotshells.
IMPORTANT: THIS MANUAL COVERS THE
MODEL 9410 WITH TOP-TANG POSITIONED
MANUAL HAMMER STOP/SAFETY (FIGURE 4).

As you examine your new Model 9410 you will observe
that it possesses the genius of the original Model 94 design
— the most famous of all lever action rifles. No gun better
represents the Winchester legacy than the Model 94 rifle.
Just like the original Model 94 rifles of the past, you’ll
appreciate the beautiful craftsmanship and superb
function of the your Model 9410.
With a few minor exceptions, the action is identical
to the way the original rifles were made in 1894. Yet
you’ll find that today’s manufacturing equipment and
technology make it possible to produce this variation
with more precision, closer metal-to-wood fits and tighter
overall tolerances than possible in earlier times. We’re
sure that the greatest Winchester gunmakers of the past
would be very proud of today’s Model 9410 shotgun.
Your new Model 9410 features our highly functional
manual hammer stop/safety mounted on the top tang of
the receiver, as well as our rebounding hammer system.
This shotgun also contains an automatic hammer stop
which blocks the hammer from striking the firing pin
until the trigger is pulled.
