Was wondering if anyone may have directions for field stripping a model 94? Or if anyone has a link to a site that may show it in detail? I'm sure there is probably not a lot to it but I've never done it and would rather see or here it from someone who has. Thanks for any help, ideas or suggestions.

Teesh, if your still around I could type it all out for you, didn't notice your post till today.

Oh man, if you could do that for me I'd buy you a beer........if I ever get to Aussy land. Or a fax or scanned image of the procedure would be killer too. Any way would be much appreciated. Let me know and I'll check back here in a while. Thank you.

No problem, I'll just take a short break.
Can't do anything but type, and will post installments as sometimes I just move the mouse and everything disappears.

Thank you sir. I will be watching for them.

I just realised we should be in the Lever Action section, down the menu a bit. Repost there if I collapse at the keyboard, or if you have the safety/side eject type.

1. Top left front, remove large screw.
2. Push out lever pin to left thru hole on
right side opposite.

3. screw out the one bottom front left, (below No.1.)
4. Drop down the lever and base, move forward to disengage from the vert.lock bolt.

5. punch out large pin to remove lever from base.
6. If necessary drift out small pin and spring at rear of base. Spring is compressed.
7. Screw out the carrier piviot screw to the left, the next one back from No. 3. (Old models may have another screw opposite side.)

8. Drop carrier downward.
9. In later models the fireing pin will come out.

10. Early models remove pin at rear of bolt.
11. Move bolt to rear and remove pin or pins to remove extractor.
12. Take out big screw at rear of top tang. If tight thump butt with hand.
13. Lower hammer.
14. If required remove hammer spring strain screw inside of the bottom tang.
15. Remove hammer spring screw from under bottom tang.
16. Punch out trigger unit towards the rear.
17. Drop out the locking bolt.

18. Pin in top of block holds in the short fireing pin bit.
19. Remove bolt from receiver.
20. Remove fireing pin to rear (if still in.)
21. Remove extractor if still in (drift out cross pin/s.
22. Pin just above trigger holds trigger (move down) and sear (remove towards front.
23. Drift out cross pin middle of lower tang to left, releasing a spring first then the trigger stop.
24. Remove screw on right side behind loading gate, and remove the loading gate.
25. Thru front of loading port get at screw holding in the carrier spring on other side.

26. Just above loading port is a small screw, and one opposite side of reciever. These hold in the cartridge guides and best left alone as are difficult to reassemble.
27. Unscrew bottom front of mag tube while holding against the STRONG and long spring.
Then ease out spring.
28. Remove screw on front barrel band.
29. Remove screw on rear barrel band and slide of forward.
30. Remove magazine forward.
31. Remove forend forward and down.

Reassembly hints: Locking bolt goes back with upper wings to rear.

Replacing fireing pin in bolt aline the recess for the lever, with cutout on left side, and other underneath.

I can't see how this works, but my book says
with the loading gate line up the screw hole and allow the front tip of the gate to protrude from the loading gate, and once the screw is started, depress the gate inside of the port, then tighten the screw.

Ive never done it and I would have thought it wouldn't fit thru.??
Any trouble try the Gunsmith section and/or the leveraction section.
