Winchester 94 Takedown Page 1st you will see that the rear buttstock screw comes out ,then off with the buttstock.then hammer screw gets loosened.

now push down on the hammer and remove the screw,then pull hammer out and remove the spring and tang by pulling straight back.loosen and take out the large screw forward on the reciever and from the right push the pin out to the left side that holds the lever in.now remove the screw for the lifter and the forward lever screw,pull the lever down and forward off the locking block as seen ,pull the bolt back straight out.
now you can service the parts and clean it completly,note on my bolt the sides have been stoned flat exactly on a 600 grit stone to remove the casting imperfections and make a smooth surface for the bolt to ride on,see the curve under the rear of the bolt? thats also wanting to be smoothed out but with a 600 grit piece of wet or dry emery paper to smooth it out also.the sides and top of the locking block want to be done too,this will make the lever action very smooth and take little effort to work and turn a stiff action into a smooth one.if your trigger pull is heavy and you have done trigger work,now is the time to stone it a little at a time untill its about 3.5 lbs.keep in mind that you can do this just by removing the hammer and tang when its together for that reassembling it to make sure your getting the right lbs and not a dangerous hair trigger.the underside of the hammer where the spring makes contact can be polished out as well making for a smoother faster ignition and feel.reassembly is the same.first in goes the bolt then the locking block,then the lever and lifter slipping on over the bottom of the locking blocks tang in the levers slot,now insert the screw in the lifter hole to secure that .make sure the bolt is pushed forward all the way and theninsrt the pin thru the upper forward hole to secure the lever and bolt and put the screw on.you may have to jockey the lever a little to get the forward part of the levers holding base in the front to line up with its screw.when thats all donereinsert the rear tang assembly and then the screw,now push the hammer in and then the hammers screw then tighten that up .now you can put the stock back on and you are done.make sure to lightly oil the inside of the reciever after a thorough cleaning and wash all parts and clean them well after theyre polished up to remove all the grit that may have accumulated.do it twice to make sure.your rifle should be slick as ever now and little effort to use as compared to a stone stock stiff action out of the box 94 winchester. for magazine care just take the mag cap off and then run a patch or two down the tube after taking the spring and the follower out,lightly oil the tube but dont drown it.also shave a little bit off the mag cap screw so it doesnt bottom out in the hole ,reason is the pressure exerted on the barrel will throw groups off and most cant figure out why.also on the barrel bands ,look at them for uneven wear spots and if theyre some theyre take some 600 grit emery paper and then true it carefully flat on a dowel so they sit flat on the barrel,also relieve some material in the magazine notches so theyre is a little play but not much thats noticable on both band screw slots,this is known as free floating a lever action.when the screws are tightened up on the bands the gun will seem tight but that extra depth in the notches where the screws sit helps it group tighter when all of the above is applied as the rifle is shot.use a small thin round file for this and dont get heavy handed with it.you dont want to go thru the mag tube and also just relieve the notches for the band screws in the barrel just a touch as well.
