A friend has a Winchester Model 94 (manufactured in 1975) that has trigger that has more than 1/4" of free play. Even when cocked, the trigger will swing back and forth about 1/4" if you swing the gun forward and backward. The gun will fire, but this doesn't seem normal to me. Are all Model 94s this way?
My 94 does not do that but mine is a much more recent 94 (approx 2006). A quick google search turns up that it might be a normal thing but that would bother me just like ot concerns you. That's about as much help as I can offer, sorry
If you Google that topic you'll find it's a common trait. Looking at a parts diagram I don't see a trigger return spring. Here's a link for disassembling a '94 Winchester if you want to delve further into the trigger.

It is odd. I have '94 built in '53 and my trigger has very little looseness to it. I've owned it for number of years, and I'm obviously not a 1'st owner , so maybe it had something done to the trigger, although I can't see it

Not really finding a fix for it listed, but will keep looking

I just checked this on both of my Marlin levers and they too have lots of free play in the triggers. Must be a lever thing. What I don't like is the comment that swinging the gun back and forth would make it fire. They do need that safety I guess.
Seem to be a million loose trigger Marlin posts too.

I think you missed a period.

my 1978 win 94 30-30 has the same loose trigger issue.
Chance favors the prepared.Making good people helpless doesn't make bad people harmless. There is no safety in denial.When seconds count the Police are only minutes away. Sometimes I really wish a lawyer would chime in and clear things up. Do we have any lawyers on this forum?
