Hi all
I’ve got a pre 64 model 94 that I use for a saddle gun and some occasional bush hunting. It’s in pretty good shape and definitely hasn’t been abused. The last time I used it I noticed every once in a while after cycling the lever, the hammer would not stay in the cocked position but would follow the slide back to just before it would touch the firing pin. It doesn’t do it every time, but often enough that something isn’t right. If I thumb the hammer back to full cock, it will fire as normal.
Any ideas what it could be or is there any smiths in central Alberta that would be good to have a look at it?
Thank you
Before you take it to the smith, take some Hoppes 9 and a tooth brush and clean the heck out of it. What you have is usually caused by dirt and gunk in the trigger hammer mechanism. There are a couple of great Youtube videos on model 94 take down if you aren't familiar.

Thank you everyone, I did take it apart and it is clean. I can’t see anything obvious. I’ll drop it off at R&t this week.
If you have it apart, you should be able to see what's happening when you cycle it.
