I have a Sears-branded Winchester 94. Despite the brand name, it is a real-deal Winchester, so this is a Winchester question.
I got it used and haven't fired it yet. Getting sick the day before your planned range session sucks big time. I was dry-firing it to get used to the action and i noticed that the firing pin slides in and out of the bolt under it's own weight. That made me think - if it falls all the way forward, how would the hammer hit it?
So, is there supposed to be a spring holding the firing pin back? I wouldn't be surprised if the previous owner lost it, the rifle has obviously been messed with.
