I’m in need of a good gunsmith that knows Winchester lever guns in the Tampa, FL area or relatively close-by. My 1967 Canadian Centennial has a feed problem and now has a snap cap jammed in it. Any suggestions?

If you live there & don’t know, who outside the area would be better informed?
My suggestion–get busy with your computer & try to figure it out yourself. YouTube may provide the answer; I found these quickly without an exhaustive search:

Any good local gunsmith should be able to clear a jam and figure out the feed issue on a modern 94.

Clarence, thanks for the advise. I did just that. I was able to disassemble the mechanism and un-jam the snap-cap. Since I purchased the gun second hand, I decided to give it a good cleaning while it was down. I still need to figure out why it jammed in the first place, nothing appeared to be worn or broken (gun looks like it may never have been fired).

Where or how was it jammed?

Glad you succeeded & saved yourself the cost (& possibly damage) of taking it to someone who knew no more than you about it. No idea what your intentions for the gun are, but commemoratives loose value fast if they show noticeable handling wear, because the folks collecting them have so many mint ones to choose from.
