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 all current versions of the Model 9410
(the first Winchester Model 94 chambered for .410 shot-
gun shells). You get all the great features that have made
the Model 94 design famous for over a century. Plus other
advantages like:
• Advanced rebounding hammer, hammer block and
cross bolt hammer stop.
• 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.
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 built into 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. These
advanced features move this traditional design to a new
level of convenience and safety. All features are explained
in detail later in this manual.
