Winchester Repeating Arms 94 Cross Bolt Safety (Historic Manual) - Manual (Page 7)

manual hammer stop built into the receiver, as well as our
rebounding hammer system. This rifle also contains an
automatic hammer stop which blocks the hammer from
striking the firing pin until the trigger is pulled. These
advanced features move the traditional Model 94 design
to a new level of convenience and safety. All features are
explained in detail later in this manual.
Some versions may vary slightly in appearance. For exam-
ple “Big Bore” versions have a slightly scalloped receiver
— but basic operation and function remain the same for
all models.

T ERMINOLOGY AND D ESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions in this manual generally refer to the gun in
the horizontal position. That is, in the normal firing
position. For example, the muzzle is forward or front; the
buttstock is rearward or rear; the trigger is downward or
underneath; the sight is upward or on top. For general
parts terminology, refer to Figure 1-A.
The Winchester Model 94 is also shown in some detail,
focussing on the hammer and lever mechanisms (See
Figure 1-B through 1-C). You must be familiar with these
part names in order to follow instructions contained in
this book. Figure 1-D covers the general features and ben-
efits of the Model 94 design.
Throughout this manual the “action” refers to the mecha-
nism of this rifle which loads and secures the cartridge in
the chamber.

er, at the front, close to where it contacts the rear of the
