Savage 94B Help

[Uncle Grinch]

I took the trigger guard off my Stevens 94B, (single shot break-open shotgun) by removing the rear screw and turning the guard off the action. Well, it seems the front of the guard was held on by a screw coming from inside the action down into the front of the guard.

Now I need to take the action apart to get the screw out and back into the guard, but I'm not sure how to go about it. I have a blow up parts diagram, but no disassembly instructions.

Whatever you do, if you start taking the action apart, wear safety glasses. Flying springs can easily take an eye out.

Gun Parts Corporation probably has an online schematic. Well, this is for the new oewer model.

Looks like the screw is either accessed just in front of the hammer or from outside the action just ahead of the breech block.

Might be worth a call to Savage to see if they have disassembly instruction available.

Losing the front screw from the hole is a pain or you might be able to pick up the threads by turning the trigger guard. Later models were changed to an outside screw.
Some of the rods with the springs have a hole in them where they come through the back that you can stick a pin in. Some don't, so be careful with them.
Even with everything out, the screw is still hard to reach unless you have an elf with an elf screwdriver! :bigsmyl2:

I really must be living right....

While studing my problem, I cocked the hammer and peered into the action. Lying inside was the screw on it's side next to the hole. I shook the action and it fell into the screw hole!

I inserted a screwdriver through the opening in front of the hammer and held the screw while I turned the trigger guard in.

Man oh man was I happy!
