M ODEL 94 L EVER A CTION
This manual covers all current versions of the lever action
Model 94 rifle that feature the following:
• Advanced rebounding hammer, hammer block and
cross bolt hammer stop.
• Positive side ejection (for better ejection when using a
scope).
• Adjustable rear sight mounted on the barrel (not the
tang).
This manual includes instructions for standard caliber
models as well as Big Bore models. Models may have large
lever loops or standard levers. This manual includes cur-
rent models with hardwood, laminated, walnut or compos-
ite stocks. Instructions are the same for all current cal-
ibers.
No gun better represents the Winchester legacy than
this rifle. Just like the original Model 94s of the past,
you’ll appreciate its beautiful craftsmanship, and
superb function.
