Hello, I recently purchased a model 94 from 1949. I found an issue while inspecting it over. The Spring cover (loading gate) will not open as its gettting caught up on the carrier. I found if i lower the lever a little bit (right before the point of when it starts moving the bolt) that i am able to push open the spring cover, with the lever up i find that i can push open the spring cover a very little, enough to get a small tool in to push down on the carrier and then the spring cover can be fully pushed in, but once your release the spring cover and it closes than again it cant be opened as it hits the carrier again.  Anyone know what the problem and fix could be for this? Thanks.

Yep, I’ve repaired lots with the same issue. You need to replace the carrier spring.

Send me a PM if you need one, I believe I have 2-3 of them.
