I N THE C ASE OF A M ISFIRE
Only rarely will modern factory ammunition experience a
misfire. If this ever happens to you when shooting your
Model 94 please follow these instructions carefully.
CAUTION: IN CASE OF MISFIRE, KEEP THE
BARREL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION,
PLACE THE MANUAL HAMMER STOP IN THE
"ON" POSITION AND CAREFULLY OPEN
ACTION WHILE AVOIDING DIRECT EXPOSURE
TO THE BREECH BY YOURSELF AND
OTHERS.
Carefully inspect the ejected cartridge. If the primer is
indented, the cartridge should be disposed of in a manner
that would prevent accidental injury to you or others. If
there is no indentation, your gun has malfunctioned and
should be serviced by a qualified gunsmith. If the gun is
under warranty, it must be serviced by a U.S. Repeating
Arms Company, Authorized Repair Center (ARC).
