You might want to do a little exploring, Dan - right here on the leverguns.com home page - which has a multitude of articles in the "Articles" section, and help for all sorts of questions like yours in the various resource sections.

In your case, why not take a look at the "Winchester Resources" section ? 8)

I have read those articles several times and I still can't convince myself to tear into my 94's. I am a maintenance man by trade, and have always dome all my own work on my motorcycles. After nearly 400,000 miles on several different bikes and them never going to a shop it is abvious I can do mech work. I am still hesitating.

Not a rocket or a Swiss watch. These things are Simple. Get an exploded drawing, study it and have at it. At the worst you'll have to call Winchester for a part or two, at the best you'll get an improvement and be happier.

If you've done all that, the 94's trigger would be a snap.

I had a 44 trapper a couple years ago, traded it for an 1895GS, but before I did, I converted it from rebounding to half cock hammer. The trigger assembly seemed fairly simple to me, and I am NOT a gun smith.

Birdman, I finally got up the nerve to have mine apart just a couple weeks ago and the article by Mojave Gambler works very well. I printed the article and printed the pictures separately, took them to my bench and it all came together. It all works. :)

Tycer of this board gave me an excellent place to look at win 94 disassembly/assembly instructions. http://www.castbullet.com/misc/tdown.htm
