2. Place the manual hammer stop in the ÒoffÓ position 
(See Figure 14) by pushing it from right to left. 
YOUR RIFLE IS NOW READY TO FIRE. 
3. Firmly shoulder your gun, take aim and when on target
pull the trigger smoothly, without jerking. After firing, let
the trigger return to the fully forward position. 
SPECIAL NOTE ON TRIGGER PULL: When pulling
the trigger an initial 
Òtake-upÓ section can be felt. This
longer, initial pull is an added safety feature of your
Model 94. It serves to drop an internal...

SIGHTADJUSTMENTS
All Model 94 rifles are fitted with open sights. The style
and adjustment system may vary between models and
grades. 
The proper procedure is to shoot a group with the sights
set as...

the elevator rearward. Adjusting the sight to make your
gun shoot lower is just the opposite Ñ move the elevator
forward. Remember: 
¥ Move the blade and holder up
to shoot higher.
¥ Move the blade and holder down
to shoot lower.
For finer elevation adjustments the sight blade itself can
be moved up or down. This is done by loosening the two
screws that secure the blade to the blade holder and then
moving the blade up or down as desired. The screws are
then retightened.

shoot more to the right.
All sight adjustments Ñ of course Ñ are a matter of trial
and error. Remember, it is usually necessary to reset your
sights when you change type or even brand of ammuni-
tion.
FOLD-DOWNTYPESIGHTSÑ
Some Model 94 rifles have a fold-down rear sight. The
sight can be folded forward so that it will not interfere
with the line of sight of a scope. Lower scope mounting is
therefore possible. This is helpful if you will be using a
scope exclusively. Adjustment for elevation is made by...

HAMMER EXTENSION
Some Model 94 rifles are supplied with a hammer exten-
sion. A hammer extension is useful when a scope is
mounted. It extends to the side, making it convenient to
cock and lower the hammer even with a low-mounted
scope. 
The hammer extension can be used in either the right
hand or left hand position. To install, coat the hammer
extension threads with Loctite
¨thread locking com-
pound. Position the round hollow edge to the left or right
as preferred and fully tighten the hammer extension...

problem (tight action when working the finger lever), be
sure to give your gun a thorough cleaning to see if it
solves the problem before seeking the services of one of

5. Then lightly oil your gun at the points described under
ÒOiling the ActionÓ 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...
