Stevens Model 94 — Parts Diagram & Report
3. Exploded View Illustration Guide
Since I cannot embed an image, here is how to visually map the parts:
- Barrel assembly (top) connects to Receiver (center block).
- Breech Block sits vertically inside receiver.
- Lever pivots at front bottom of receiver; its cam pushes breech block up/down.
- Trigger & Hammer are inside lower receiver cavity.
- Stock bolts through lower tang.
- Forearm screws into underside of barrel near muzzle.

Problem 1: The Breech Block Won’t Stay Closed
- Cause: Worn sear or broken sear spring.
- Diagram fix: Identify part #27 (sear) and #28 (sear spring). The diagram shows the spring's correct coil orientation – a 90-degree mistake makes the block pop open when firing.
Common maintenance & troubleshooting notes
- Check hinge pin and locking block wear; excessive play indicates need for replacement or fitting.
- Extractor should lift shell rim cleanly; replace or clean if sticky.
- Firing pin spring fatigue can cause light strikes — replace striker/spring if misfires.
- Ensure forend latch springs are intact to prevent accidental opening under recoil.
- Periodically inspect wood stock for cracks around action screws; torque screws to spec.
Group 2: The Frame (Receiver)
- Receiver (Part #6): The steel housing. Look for cracks here—if present, the gun is unsafe.
- Top Lever (Part #7) & Top Lever Spring (Part #8): This secures the barrel closed. A weak spring causes the gun to pop open on firing.
- Hinge Pin (Part #9): Connects the barrel to the receiver. Wear here causes “play.”
Aftermarket vs. Original Parts: What the Diagram Won't Tell You
A new parts diagram will show you the shape of a part, but not the material. Here’s some tribal knowledge: stevens model 94 parts diagram new
- Springs: Original Stevens springs were prone to relaxing. Order new springs from Wolff Gunsprings – they are made of modern chrome silicon.
- Firing pins: Early Model 94s used a two-piece firing pin (to prevent out-of-battery firing). Aftermarket one-piece pins exist but are not shown on original diagrams. If your diagram is new and redrawn by a seller, check if they note “OEM style or universal.”
- Extractors: Hard to find. If broken, some gunsmiths braze weld the original. The diagram shows the profile – a skilled welder can rebuild it.
Why a "New" Parts Diagram Matters for the Stevens Model 94
The Stevens Model 94 was produced in various iterations from the early 1900s until the 1980s (and re-released later as the Savage 94). Over that 80+ year span, Stevens introduced several variations:
- The Model 94B (breech-loading single shot)
- The Model 94C (with a different extractor design)
- The Model 94 Series M (Marlin collaboration)
- The Model 94 Youth (shorter stock/barrel)
Older parts diagrams often combine these variations, leading to confusion. A new parts diagram typically refers to: Stevens Model 94 — Parts Diagram & Report 3
- High-resolution digital recreations that label parts clearly.
- Exploded view drawings specific to your sub-model (e.g., 94B vs. 94C).
- Modern schematics that include updated part numbers compatible with current aftermarket suppliers like Numrich Gun Parts or Jack First.
Simply put: using an old, incorrect diagram will leave you frustrated with leftover screws and a non-functioning action.
Category 3: The Ejection System
This is the most distinctive feature of the Model 94 compared to cheaper singleshots like the "Hardware Store" guns. Barrel assembly (top) connects to Receiver (center block)
- Ejector Rod (Rod, Ejector): This is a long, thin steel rod that runs along the left side of the barrel lug.
- Ejector Spring: A small coil spring that pushes the rod forward.
- How it works (per the diagram): When you open the gun, the ejector rod hits a stop, kicking the fired shell out forcefully.
- Comparison: Many diagrams confuse "Extractors" (pull the shell out halfway) with "Ejectors" (throw the shell out). The Model 94 is an Ejector gun. Ensure your diagram shows the rod and spring; if it only shows a hook, it might be a diagram for a different model (like the Model 94C which varied).
Overview of the Design
The Model 94 is a Top-Lever, Break-Action Single Shot. Its beauty lies in its simplicity. There are very few moving parts compared to a pump or semi-auto, which makes the diagram relatively easy to memorize.
When looking at a parts diagram for this gun, you will see roughly 20–30 distinct parts. I have categorized them below by system to make the diagram easier to interpret.
