I have a 32-20 with the fancy button safety
The bolt at the rear has a slotted small screw sticking up
This prevents the bolt from going forward
Not sure how the screw got unscrewed
Should I try to screw in deeper, or am I doing something wrong?.
Thanks for your help

Photos? I have disassembled a lot of 1894s but don't remember ever seeing a screw on the bolt.
Keep moving forward!

Two things wrong. First, there are no screws in a 94 bolt. Someone has added it if there is one. Second, the 94 was never chambered for the 32-20. Are you sure it's a 94 and not a 92?

Saw one once where someone had tried to smooth the action by grinding the bottom of the bolt, then added a screw so it would cock the hammer. Tried to convince me it allowed adjustable tension on the hammer for different loads. Quite a story.
Pics would help.

Hi Jim! I too have never seen a screw on a Marlin 1894 bolt. However, Marlin did make model 1894s in 32-30. I have one. Sweet little rifle. (JBledsoe must be thinking we are talking about a Winchester 94.) T.S.

Does the OP ever say what kind of 94 he is working on? Is it a Marlin or Winchester?
