Description:
UNCLEANED AND ATTIC CONDITION MODEL 1895, .30 ARMY CALIBER (.30-40 KRAG), #87XXX, MADE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION IN 1915! I found this one in Arizona and the previous owner said it “came out of Mexico.” The 1895 in .30-40 was one of the most popular rifles used in the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). While obviously cared for, this one has seen some real use. Mostly a gray/brown patina overall with some areas of aged blue, this 1895 still retains a dark but fine bore with good rifling all the way through and no pitting. The butt stock shows some “weathering” and has a 3/8 inch hole drilled from side to side- no doubt for a sling or for a thong to secure the rifle in a saddle scabbard. Tight wood to metal fit, forearm shows some honest saddle wear mainly on the upper right side just ahead of the receiver and on the upper left side near the rear sight where the wood is typically thinned a little. Forend also has a small crack staring on the right side coming back from the forend tip and a small and shallow sliver out on the opposite side. Excellent screws, tight action and uncleaned metal that has excellent markings. Buckhorn rear sight with correct small blade front sight. Loads of history and character in this action-packed Winchester!
