H AMMER POSITIONS —
The rebounding hammer on your Model 9410 has two
positions as follows:
1. Rebound or “safety” position. This position
(Figure 3) takes the place of the dropped and half-cocked
positions found on earlier, original Model 94 rifle models.
The rebounding feature of the hammer essentially elimi-
nates the dropped position. The hammer only travels to
the dropped position momentarily after the trigger has
been pulled with the hammer cocked. The hammer then
automatically moves to the rebound position.
THE REBOUND POSITION IS CONSIDERED
THE "SAFETY" POSITION. IT IS THE RECOM-
MENDED POSITION OF THE HAMMER AT ALL
TIMES AND SHOULD BE IN THAT POSITION
EXCEPT (1) WHEN FIRING IS IMMINENT (2) OR
IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACTION HAS
BEEN CYCLED.
2. Cocked position. This is the position that the hammer
is moved to when firing is imminent (Figure 4). It is also
the position the hammer moves to when the action is
cycled using the finger lever.
WHEN THE HAMMER IS IN THE COCKED
POSITION THE HAMMER STOP SHOULD BE IN
THE "ON" POSITION UNLESS FIRING IS IMMINENT.
M ANUAL H AMMER STOP —
The manual hammer stop is a modern feature built into the
action of your Model 9410 to provide an additional level of
safety when it is in the "on" position.
“On” Position. When the hammer stop is pushed all the
way to the right it is in the on position (Figure 5-A). In this
position it blocks the hammer from striking the firing pin.
