I've watched hundreds of videos on how to disassemble and reassemble pistols and rifles over the years but this one is by far the best done video I have ever had the pleasure to use. Can't thank you enough for the time and effort you put into this, well done.
This video is by far the best tutorial on the Winchester 94, all the verbage spoken is accurate and easy to understand. The tools used are good quality gunsmithing tools that prevent damage during disassemble and reassembly and correctly handled including the tape tip on the punch. Camera angles and close ups are clear and professionally done. I applaud you for this 1st class video, I look forward to seeing more videos from this gentleman.
Now THAT'S how an instructional video is done. Textbook. Huge thank you for taking the time/effort and doing such a great job on it. Love the close ups.
@@cathat227 I was wondering the same thing! I have a pre 64 model and it seems to take one shell at a time. I assume that the spring has been replaced or compressed in some fashion? I am not confident about disassembling my rifle but if all I have to do is remove the magazine plug screw, I would certainly give that a shot.
You are an EXCELLENT Instructor. Pronunciation and enunciation were great. Nomenclature of parts was spot on, and it was obvious the specific order of disassembly and assembly had been well organized. You are also one of the few presenters who does not say "uh" all the time. Many thanks for a job well done. John Gafford
Thank you for this video. I had never taken apart my 94 that I inherited, and I don’t think anyone else had ever taken it apart either. It was due for a deep cleaning and lubrication. Your video made it possible. Thank you, THANK you, THANK YOU!!!!!
Just inherited a 94 and it is in need of a deep clean. Being my first Winchester, I cannot tell you how much this is going to help. This was a properly done video. I subscribed and can't wait to see your other videos. Thank you, sir.
This is by far the best firearm disassembly/assembly tutorial that I have found online. I appreciate that all steps were shown and not skipped or fast forwarded. Very informative, all the information needed without any ridiculous commentary that many feel they need to add for entertainment value. Great video, I really look forward to more videos like this. Top notch, thank you!
A really first rate tutorial, calm, collected and informative, I would like to see you produce a video like this for the Winchester 1886.It was a real treat to see proper fitting screwdrivers (turnscrews) being use throughout ! Many Thanks for posting.
Englishman French thank you sir for that comment. I really appreciate it, this is my favorite comment yet. I'll ask around for an 86 Winchester and see if I can find one to disassemble.
One of the best vids regarding gun disassembly on youtube. No bullshit, straight to the point, calm voice, proper tools. Appreciate that. Thank you sir!
hi here in new zealand we lack numbers of gunsmiths and i had my rifle jam with a live cartridge and after viewing your video i attempted to disasemble myself with great success and all working again . many thanks for posting a informative tutorial .
Thank you for the detailed, no nonsense video. I was just given my great grandfathers 1894 in 38-55 manufactured in 1905, and this video should go a long way to help me get her cleaned up nicely.
Excellent job description of the pit falls and a no nonsense approach without long winded tales of crap that is a breath of fresh air. Well done. Thank you.
Me too. Mine was about to go into Ziploc bags and a box 😭. My own fault lol. With this video I carefully reassembled in less than 30 minutes! Thanks for a great video!
The tip of the barrel blew apart last weekend. I was using Winchester ammo by coincidence. Thank you so much giving me the courage to replace the barrel. My gun is priceless to me.
Well done, clear and concise, thank you. My only suggestion would be while reassembling, note where to use grease and where to use oil. Other than that, perfect!
@TheOtherWhiteBread0 If you're disassembling and reassembling you need to lubricate parts not easily lubricated by regular maintenance. But you knew that...
ABSOLUTELY EXCELLENT VIDEO through & through!! I've seen very FEW that take the time, yet get directly to the point as you have in this video!! It's a NO NONSENSE/ NO BULLSHIT FILLERS kind of video that is exactly what I needed. Thanks my friend, you did an awesome job for all of us!! 👍
My Model 94 that belonged to my dad is 49 years old and has never been disassembled, and after watching this, I don’t think it ever will be! Great video though!
Best video on Winchester 1894 disassembly/assembly, hands down. I used another another video and messed up, but started over with this. Thanks for posting it.
You're handle may be "Amateur Smith" but you are anything but an amateur. Thank you for showing me how to show my old gun some real love and care. Great video sir!
Thanks for the outstanding video. I have one that was built in 1928 and hasn't been fired in 30 years. I will now clean properly and feel comfortable doing it. Thanks again
Bought the airgun th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL for pest control. Initially sighted-in with lead pellets but after about 100 shots decided to upgrade to the faster PBA Platinum pellets (spec'd at 1250 fps). The picture shows the distribution of 11 pellets on a target at ~20 yards. Overall, very happy with the handling of the Varmint, little recoil, no scope creep (make sure to follow the installation instructions that include the lock pin!), lightweight and fits nicely in a standard carrying case. The airgun is loud, more so shooting with PBA pellets. Something to consider if that's a possible issue in your environment / neighborhood.Update: considering upgrading to a more powerful 0.22, likely Gamo Magnum. I'm not thrilled about using toxic lead pellets but there's no other way to get sufficient impact without lead weight as far as I can tell, which is needed for adult iguanas pest control.
Thanks so much. I have 4 94's that went through Hurrican Katrina. Two 26th President T. Roosevelt's short and long, A Texas Edition, and a Pre 64. Talk about makes me sick. This video will help me get them shooting again.
I have a Marlin and a couple Henry lever guns. I was thinking about getting a Winchester 94. After watching this video, I'm rethinking the Winchester. This was an awesome instructional video. I couldn't imagine any way that this video could have been better. Hats off to the creator.
I got a 1951 Winchester 94 that’s in really rough shape I disassembled it and it wasn’t easy thanks for your video it’s gonna be easier getting the rest of the way apart and back together
Thank you so much. My grandpa gave me his ‘56 year model 1894 and I’ve been wanting to do a tear down and clean up of it for the last few years. Your video was informative and had a good no frills approach. Thank you again and you earned a like and new subscriber. God bless!
Mate, truly thanks for your help and all your work to put this great vid together well done. I’ll be going back and forth over this video whenever I need help. Thanks again mate 💯👍🇦🇺
Bloody brilliant !! I've been a mechanical, electrical and computer engineer for 45 years and have watched and attended countless instructional videos over the years and this ranks among the best I've seen. You should take the word amateur from your tag name man. Explanations, instructions, lighting and camera work are all amazing.
Good Sir, Much appreciation for your disassembly/reassembly video. I had a rebluing job become necessary on the Model 94 bequeathed me by my brother at the time of his passing due to the neglect shown during the few years of his life. Now, mirror finished and nearly black as night, I can proudly pass this rifle to my son and his posterity for the enjoyment of the generations to come and know, so long as they care properly for the rifle this job should not be necessary again in the future. Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life. This wasn't work but rather a loving application of my skills made possible by your own. Thank you, be well, be safe and be blessed in all things my friend. Sincerely and Respectfully Yours, ...~Dr. Benny
I have a rather early model 94 rifle with the octagonal barrel. It's action is very stiff when operating the lever. Other than that it's in mint condition. I believe it was manufactured in 1905. Up until your video I was rather intimidated with the dis assembly but after watching this I don't think I'll have any problems. I tend to think that the under side of the bolt is probably galled as well as the upper surface of the hammer where it rides so I surmise I'll have to do some polishing of those surfaces to regain it's smoothness of operation. At any rate, thanks so much for your taking the time to post this video. Totally appreciated.
By far the best and most complete video on here. Like others have commented it's amazing to see someone actually take the time for disassembly and reassembly using proper tools! Thank you so much for this my grandfather's 64 year old gun I inherited can finally be used again because of you
I just disassembled my 1894 made in 1950 for the first time since I inherited it from my grandfather about 2 months ago. I love lever actions as I was taught to shoot with them, grew up on cowboy movies, and the first gun I was crazy for and still holds a special place in my heart was the Winchester 1887 from Terminator 2. That being said, 3 hours for a first time break down, cleaning, and reassembling is insane. As I get more practiced, it will get easier but i have a feeling I will be using cotton swabs and pipe cleaners for the foreseeable future when I need to clean my deer gun
recently got my hands on a win94, and i feel that your video game me the knowledge to take care of the gun in a proper way. thanks awfully for a thorough and well done video, you have my thanks!
Awesome tutorial Amateur Smith !I got a 1949 model 64 from a pawn shop and when I got it home I noticed it had loose cartridge guide rails /screws on both sides...yikes....! I pulled the guide rails out & cleaned/polished them then reinstalled with new screws from a Brownells screw kit.Very little room to work with,getting the screws back in....had to make custom flat blade drivers from allen wrenches on the bench grinder. Was not able to torque screws down tightly. and thinking screws will eventually back out again ,applied loctite blue to threads....Will range check now& monitor for tightness.
You saved me a lot of frustration and anger and probably broken fingers. Thank you really helped me a lot after I had to reassemble it from some idiot who I had lent it to.
First rate instructional video my man. Fantastic close ups giving clear shots of the parts and how they fit together from start to finish. Really well done. Appreciate your efforts, skills and knowledge.
Great video! Very well done. Nice to see a competent person using the right tools to work on a firearm. Excellent camera coverage and lighting. Verbal instructions are first rate using the right terminology for the different gun parts. Please do more videos of different firearms! You are the gold-standard! Thank you.
Awesome Job, I had an 1894 that was made in 1898 and that was the closest video I could find. Thanks was very afraid to to start but went super well and easy to follow. I have a picture of my grandfather standing next to his model T with tire chains on the car, and holding a wolf in one hand by a leg and this rifle in the other hand. Thanks
Thanks for this! I looked for a while, and you have the best disassembly video for this gun on youtube. Very collected and well documented. Much appreciated.
Hey man, you have no idea how much I appreciate the video! Most of the other videos out there don't even do a full breakdown. They just take out the sections but don't even break them down. I'm not a gun-expert by any means, but I could tell half of those guys did not even know what they were doing. You provided a good explanation of things and how they come apart and go back together. I do have a quick question though if you don't mind; I have a few screws in my gun that I can't seem to get loose. I don't want to strip them (any more than they already are), so for the moment I'm not going to take the gun apart. Would DW-40 be an alright thing to use on my gun, or is there something else I should be using? I'm relatively new to rifles, and don't want to mess anything up. This is my first rifle, I just bought it about a month ago. I own and have taken apart a number of shotguns, but they are a much easier thing to work on. I certainly appreciate your videos and expertise!
Nathan Jennings awesome man glad I could help. The best thing to use would be rem oil an soak it for 10 min. But yes wd40 will work as well give it 10 min, grab a wooden mallet and smack the area around the screw. Grab an over size flat head screw driver and grind the thickness down until the tip barely fits in the screw, smack the handle with a hammer until it seats itself completely in the screw then start unscrewing. I recommend buying a gunsmith screw set in the future if you don't already have one. You never want to work on these firearms without the proper tapered screw bit. I would recommend buying new screws as well you can find them for 99cents on numrich
This is an awesome video! About 44 years ago I bought a beat up model 94 and took it apart to clean it. I ended up having to have a gunsmith reassemble it.
WOW! What an excellent job you did with this video. I bought an 1894 Winchester that was made in 1904. This video was a great help in smoothing out the action. Thank you so much
He does an outstanding job of showing me how to disassemble and reassemble that weapon the only thing that been driving me crazy is your Vice bolt should be carriage bolts and they're upside down I can't take it it's driving me crazy take that damn bolt out of there. And change it with a carriage bolt turn it around and all you'll see is a flat surface and everything will be out of your way
Thank you so much for this instructional video. All the models differ slightly over the years and I have a 94 that was made in 1965. So not to much was different, and it was easy to follow along with.
This is the best disassemble And reassemble video I’ve seen so far you take it nice and slow so all parts can be seen thank you for taking the time to make this video l learned a lot looking forward to seeing more videos like this God bless
beautiful video! thanks to you I understand very well how to dismantle and remount the rifle. I'm writing in English, but I'm Italian ... I write with the translator .. hàhààhàh .. ok, thanks ..ciao
Thanks for this! Took a while to get the first pin out on my dad’s old rifle. I had to let it sit with some penetrating oil for a day, and had to go down to a 1/16 inch punch to get it out. Would love to see this video updated with recommended tools and methods to deal within sticky parts.
Thanks for this great tutorial on disassembly and reassembly of 1894 Winchester. My opinion, the best on utube. And I watched several others before this one. I just finished complete tear down, clean, relube and reassembly of a friends '08 25-30 WCF 1894 Winchester using your video for guidance. They haven't changed much internally. 😂 With your help it was a breeze. Subbed Thanks again.
Im just gettong i to 'smithing and decided my old model 94 was going to be my first nose to tail refurbish amd rebuild (including rebluing) i NO DOUBT wouldve botched it to all hell and back had i not found this video. Well done sir, and thank you.
Thank you for the very detailed video of your '94 .32 W.S!! I am looking forward to doing some maintenance on mine and I will be using this video as a reference.
No B.S., no filler, no rambling! Straightforward, good pace and nice close ups with proper tools used. Great informational video!
A picture is worth a thousand words and a video with clear description like this is truly priceless.
I've watched hundreds of videos on how to disassemble and reassemble pistols and rifles over the years but this one is by far the best done video I have ever had the pleasure to use. Can't thank you enough for the time and effort you put into this, well done.
Why is there even one thumbs down? This video should be a mandatory piece in any gunsmithing course or training. Thank you, A+ in all aspects.
The thumbs down probably comes from the guy that pried his forearm off same as his double bbl shotgun, before he watched this video
This video is by far the best tutorial on the Winchester 94, all the verbage spoken is accurate and easy to understand. The tools used are good quality gunsmithing tools that prevent damage during disassemble and reassembly and correctly handled including the tape tip on the punch.

I would have never been able to reassemble without this video. Thank you so much!

Me too. Mine was about to go into Ziploc bags and a box 😭. My own fault lol.

Bought the airgun th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL for pest control. Initially sighted-in with lead pellets but after about 100 shots decided to upgrade to the faster PBA Platinum pellets (spec'd at 1250 fps). The picture shows the distribution of 11 pellets on a target at ~20 yards. Overall, very happy with the handling of the Varmint, little recoil, no scope creep (make sure to follow the installation instructions that include the lock pin!), lightweight and fits nicely in a standard carrying case. The airgun is loud, more so shooting with PBA pellets. Something to consider if that's a possible issue in your environment / neighborhood.Update: considering upgrading to a more powerful 0.22, likely Gamo Magnum. I'm not thrilled about using toxic lead pellets but there's no other way to get sufficient impact without lead weight as far as I can tell, which is needed for adult iguanas pest control.
What does this comment have to do with the video on the 94?
Thanks so much. I have 4 94's that went through Hurrican Katrina. Two 26th President T. Roosevelt's short and long, A Texas Edition, and a Pre 64. Talk about makes me sick. This video will help me get them shooting again.
Thanks. Used your video to bring back to life a 1953 I got for a great price because it was reassembled incorrectly.
I just bought a Model 94 (1949 vintage) so this video is very helpful, thank you!
I have a Marlin and a couple Henry lever guns. I was thinking about getting a Winchester 94. After watching this video, I'm rethinking the Winchester. This was an awesome instructional video. I couldn't imagine any way that this video could have been better. Hats off to the creator.

Perfect! This was exactly what I needed for my 66 centennial
Excellent! I was able to disassemble and thoroughly clean my 1958 Model 94. Thanks for making this video.

I appreciate this clear cut to the point instruction more than you know! Great vid 👍
Seriously the best how-to vid I’ve seen across a huge range of disciplines (sports, science, etc.). Subscribing for more of these!!

That’s the best demonstration and explanation I’ve seen on disassembly/assembly instructions! Thanks for taking the time to do and share it!

Love the close up camera. Makes it so much easier to understand. Probably best how to I’ve seen. Thank you!
Holy crap! I had no idea there were so many parts to this gun!
I needed this video back in early 70's.
I agree with the comment about screwdrivers. Hollow ground is the only way to go. I especially like your use of magnetic trays. Excellent.
thank you for that awesome video I used it to do a thorough cleaning on my post 64 with a few variations with the main spring assembly
Really good break down on how to do this
First rate instructional video my man. Fantastic close ups giving clear shots of the parts and how they fit together from start to finish. Really well done. Appreciate your efforts, skills and knowledge.
Great video! Very well done. Nice to see a competent person using the right tools to work on a firearm. Excellent camera coverage and lighting. Verbal instructions are first rate using the right terminology for the different gun parts. Please do more videos of different firearms! You are the gold-standard! Thank you.
I have a old Winchester 94 20/30 been meaning to clean up furniture and re blue your video is invaluable best I have ever seen in any video
Awesome Job, I had an 1894 that was made in 1898 and that was the closest video I could find. Thanks was very afraid to
to start but went super well and easy to follow. I have a picture of my grandfather standing next to his model T
with tire chains on the car, and holding a wolf in one hand by a leg and this rifle in the other hand. Thanks
Thanks for this! I looked for a while, and you have the best disassembly video for this gun on youtube. Very collected and well documented. Much appreciated.

I certainly appreciate your videos and expertise!
Nathan Jennings awesome man glad I could help. The best thing to use would be rem oil an soak it for 10 min. But yes wd40 will work as well give it 10 min, grab a wooden mallet and smack the area around the screw. Grab an over size flat head screw driver and grind the thickness down until the tip barely fits in the screw, smack the handle with a hammer until it seats itself completely in the screw then start unscrewing.
I recommend buying a gunsmith screw set in the future if you don't already have one. You never want to work on these firearms without the proper tapered screw bit. I would recommend buying new screws as well you can find them for 99cents on numrich
Great job on Mod 94. Love the 32 Win Spl.
This is an awesome video! About 44 years ago I bought a beat up model 94 and took it apart to clean it. I ended up having to have a gunsmith reassemble it.
WOW! What an excellent job you did with this video. I bought an 1894 Winchester that was made in 1904. This video was a great help in smoothing out the action. Thank you so much
Great instructor! Well done in a professional manner!
Thank you very much.
Great video, best instructions I every had on the 94 Assembly…..thank you !!!
Great closeups thanks
He does an outstanding job of showing me how to disassemble and reassemble that weapon the only thing that been driving me crazy is your Vice bolt should be carriage bolts and they're upside down I can't take it it's driving me crazy take that damn bolt out of there. And change it with a carriage bolt turn it around and all you'll see is a flat surface and everything will be out of your way
Thank you so much for this instructional video. All the models differ slightly over the years and I have a 94 that was made in 1965. So not to much was different, and it was easy to follow along with.
great video. A true public service.
Thanks. Mines a little different but this got me through cleaning and reassembly. First time its been cleaned in 35 years. I inherited it.
Thanks in advance! I just got a 94 in to clean up and have never worked on one!
This is the best disassemble And reassemble video I’ve seen so far you take it nice and slow so all parts can be seen thank you for taking the time to make this video l learned a lot looking forward to seeing more videos like this God bless
beautiful video!
thanks to you I understand very well how to dismantle and remount the rifle.
I'm writing in English, but I'm Italian ... I write with the translator .. hàhààhàh .. ok, thanks ..ciao
Well, I guess it’s time to totally clean grandpa’s gun. Thanks for this great video!
Most excellent work, Sir!
Thank you. Well done. Was only looking for bolt removal for firing pin replacement
Thanks for this! Took a while to get the first pin out on my dad’s old rifle. I had to let it sit with some penetrating oil for a day, and had to go down to a 1/16 inch punch to get it out. Would love to see this video updated with recommended tools and methods to deal within sticky parts.
Thanks for this great tutorial on disassembly and reassembly of 1894 Winchester. My opinion, the best on utube. And I watched several others before this one. I just finished complete tear down, clean, relube and reassembly of a friends '08 25-30 WCF 1894 Winchester using your video for guidance.
They haven't changed much internally. 😂 With your help it was a breeze. Subbed
Thanks again.
This video helped a lot! Thanks for the clear camera and good lighting!
This video saved me a whole bunch of time.
Im just gettong i to 'smithing and decided my old model 94 was going to be my first nose to tail refurbish amd rebuild (including rebluing) i NO DOUBT wouldve botched it to all hell and back had i not found this video. Well done sir, and thank you.
