Winchester Repeating Arms 9422 (Historic Manual) - Manual (Page 8)

G ENERAL D ESCRIPTION
Your new Model 9422 is one of several different versions
and configurations offered. The basic operating procedures
are the same for all of them. Where there are differences
they are pointed out in this booklet for your convenience.
The Model 9422 is a lever action design that allows the
shooter to load a round by cycling the action and moving
a cartridge from a loaded magazine tube to the chamber.
After firing, working the finger lever ejects the empty car-
tridge out the ejection port to the right. Returning the
finger lever upward cycles a new cartridge from the maga-
zine into the chamber. This can be repeated until the
magazine is empty. The basic function and the classic
looks are much like that experienced by hunters, trappers,
farmers and sportsmen with their Model 94 centerfire
rifles.
T ERMINOLOGY AND D ESCRIPTIONS
Descriptions in this booklet generally refer to the gun in
the horizontal position. That is, in the normal firing posi-
tion. For example, the muzzle is forward or front; the butt
stock is rearward or rear; the trigger is downward or under-
neath; the sight is upward or on top.
Figure 1 covers the general features and benefits of the
Model 9422 design. For general parts terminology, refer to
Figures 2A through 2C.
