  • Description:

    SN 376312 is an excellent plus example of a Winchester Model 1895 rifle.  This rifle was built in 1916 but remains in overall excellent condition.  This example shows a 24" barrel with clear crisp markings; 98% bright original blue and original sights.  The bore rates at bright, very good plus with slight evidence of corrosive primer corrosion.  The receiver shows approximately 90% original blue as does the lever unit.  The butt finish rates at 90+% . The forwood shows minor usage marks and 70% finish. All of the screws remain in factory condition indicating that this rifle was never disassembled or repaired.  The top of the receiver shows matting which was standard on the caliber 35 & the 405 only.  An above average Model 1895 rifle in one of the scarce cartridges.  The 35 ECF round was introduced in 1903.  Despite the fact that it was an excellent big game cartridge the sales of the 95 in this caliber were minimal.  A scarce and excellent example of a sporting 1895 Winchester.
