![]() The Model 1894 incorporated a newly designed action in a light, thin-walled frame (receiver) that was quite revolutionary. Note how the cartridge seen through the cut-out in the forend on the upper photo has been fed toward the action by the magazine tube spring and follower. The longer throw allows a full length rifle cartridge to feed through the action, and the breechblock design provides the strength to withstand the much greater chamber pressure and subsequent bolt setback forces during recoil. These two views, shown by example of an extremely rare Model 94 factory cutaway (mid-1970s version) clearly illustrate the internal parts relationship with the action closed (top) and the action open (bottom.) The key to the success of this design lies in the much longer action “throw” afforded by the lever/link system and the solid breechblock that rises into place behind the bolt when the action is closed and locked. ![]()
