My name is tony and I just bought a winchester model 94 at an auction. I own two 22 rifles which I have had for 35 years and use for targets. I am interested in information about my winchester, it was produced in 1967 and is 30-30 cal. looks to have some grease in the action and a bit dirty. I am wondering if I should take it to a gunsmith to be checked out before I use it. I am also looking for a manual for this model. This rifle has no safety so the instruction manuals I find on line might not be for my model.

I found an owners manual on ebay looks to be from the same era (1967) I founs the half cock position and it does disable the trigger . The receiver and ramp and related parts have a coating of grease on them looks to be old stuff you can see where it remains on the parts that do not touch, is this grease supposed to be there?

that sounds like some kind of grease they may have put on it on to store the gun for a long period but i know to much grease or oil is not good because it will cause a build up of dirt and reidue i would clean that grease off and find a good lubricant you can find some at a gun dealer theyll help with any question about diffrent lubicants for your specific needs.
