I recently received a 1908 Winchester Model 94, 32 caliber. Serial number 466186. I am disassembling the entire firearm to clean it. I have found a video on a newer model 94 (1940) that has assisted me but I have run into a road block. I cannot get the magazine tube off, hence the front forearm and end cap will not come off.
I have removed both screws from the end cap. The two screws were attached to a dovetail assembly located between the barrel and magazine tube. So far I have had to use a lot of penetrating oil in the disassembling process but this is not working for the magazine tube.
I cannot not get the magazine tube to pull out. I can rotate it about 1/8 of an inch. Can anyone provide me with some information on how to get the magazine tube off so I can complete the disassembly?
Thanks for your help
