I took my 94 apart and now i don't think i can get it back together.

It was never apart for a good cleaning and i discovered there were deposits of white crud all through it. Must be something from the powder or priming building up. So i took it apart and gave all the parts a good cleaning. I used the Remington aerosol action cleaner, some 0000 Steel wool and i completely degreased and cleaned all the crud off. I am going to give everything a liberal coating of Remoil before re assembly.

Here is how it sits now on my workbench. After the the movie is over that my wife wants to watch i am going to get back to assembling this.

It is a post 64 that has had the wood refinished while still on the gun... By a previous owner. I will be rectifying this later in the summer. I was actually thinking of getting a black synthetic stock. I like the feel of them. The rifle is a shooter not a looker. Bore is perfect. Finish is bleh.

they'll make you wish you had tiny fingers.

i used to take apart 92's and 94's all the time for cleaning/slicking up.

Don't know if this will help or not:

Or this one:

those videos should help. We will see in a couple hours when i resume assembly. Thanks for the vids. I think they will really help.

I have never even thought about disassembling my 94, you are a brave man! Tell us how it goes putting it back together and maybe I will think about doing it to mine.

What is involved in slicking one up?

hmmm. could the crud have been white lithium grease?
I m not gonna say what I m thinking. Good luck.

Could have been grease. The previous owner was not the best in that sort of thing. Its all off now. Gun is put back together and I completely soaked it with aerosol Remoil. Just dripping. I even cleaned out the magazine tube and oiled in there. I will just keep wiping off the excess as it works its way out. That way i wont have missed anything. Might take it out this week and fire 5 or 6 shots. Just to blow the dust off (me)

alismith that first video got me on the right track. After i got the follower in and started the lever back in it all fell into place. Thank you.

polishing the internals like a mirror for starters.

rci's predicament has me wondering about my Marlin 1894 levergun and if it would be as much a headache.
