5. Then lightly oil your gun at the points described under
“Oiling the Action” explained earlier in this manual.
Ordinary good judgment will, of course, indicate that the
metal of the gun should receive a light film of oil any time
the rifle has been exposed to weather or handling.
Remember, the polished, finely fitted surfaces of the
receiver and action mechanisms must always have a thin
film of oil. Make sure that the surfaces of the breech
block, lever components and feed mechanism parts are
especially clean and lightly oiled with a high quality gun
oil. Do not use pure silicone or lanolin.
6. INSPECT THE BARREL AND CHAMBER. TO
MAKE CERTAIN THAT NO PATCHES HAVE
BEEN INADVERTENTLY LEFT IN THEM.
Remove
any that remain.
7. Wipe all wood surfaces.
8. When transporting only, store your Model 94 in a qual-
ity protective case to prevent scratches and dents. Store
in a dry place to prevent corrosion. Store away from chil-
dren.
MAKE SURE YOUR GUN IS UNLOADED
AND ALWAYS STORE AMMUNITION
SEPARATELY.
O THER C LEANING S UGGESTIONS —
• Never pour large quantities of oil into the receiver or
other parts. It can drain down to the wood and soften it
— and cause permanent damage and loosening of the
stock.
• After extended periods of heavy use, your gun should be
taken to one of our Authorized Repair Centers or a quali-
fied gunsmith to have the action disassembled for profes-
sional cleaning and lubrication.
NEVER ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR MODEL 94
APART FURTHER THAN EXPLAINED IN THIS
MANUAL.
This is a specialized, finely fitted mechanism. You may
permanently mar it by attempting to disassemble the
inner mechanism assemblies. If further disassembly for
service or cleaning is required, take your gun to a U. S.
Repeating Arms Company Authorized Repair Center or a
competent gunsmith as explained under “Service or
Repair.”
