Winchester Model 94 -Firing Pin Removal

ClH · Feb 16, 2020

In my quest to clean this firearm, I have run into another problem. The firing pin will not come out.

I have removed all the pins, the extractor and ejector spring. There sits the firing pin. It will not slide out.

I have sprayed the bolt with penetrating oil, concentrating on the firing pin. I then used degreaser spray. The pin won't come out. It will move and turn but it won't slide out.

Any ideas? It is was manufactured in 1908

think they have a firing pin stop pin, the old ones do. if you removed it - possibly tap the head of the firing pin with a small brass punch lightly to see if it comes out. if anyone ever dry fired that much, it peens the pin and could just be stuck a little and need a bit of motivation to come out. on one other older firearms, when I cleaned it up good - not that model, but I found a good 1/4 inch piece of an old patch that someone who knows how many years earlier hand left in the firing pin channel - and the pin was stuck to it and didn't want to come out. I dripped some solvent in there and let it sit for a few days, once it softened up the pin came out easy enough.

film495,
I was successful in removing the pin. As you suggested, I let the bolt sit for sometime saturated with solvent. I then used some "motivation" to get the pin out. I went from inside of the bolt with a small brass punch and was able to tap out the pin.

Thanks for you insight and help

One last thing. Make sure you inspect the pin to insure it is still round and not flat or burred after driving it out.
