Antique WINCHESTER-LEE Model 1895 STRAIGHT PULL Bolt Action NAVY RIFLE
US Military Model 1895 Chambered in .236 USN and Made in 1898
Here we present an antique Winchester-Lee Model 1895 Straight Pull Bolt Action Rifle, manufactured circa 1898 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Lee was the design of James Paris Lee, formerly of Remington. The Lee Rifle competed in the 1894 Navy trials for a rifle for both the Navy and Marine Corps and won, being adopted as the Model 1895. Heretofore, the U.S. military had almost exclusively been using large bore, single-shot rifles with single action hammers, but times were changing. The Army picked the Krag-Jorgensen which proved to be the first successful bolt action, small bore rifle in U.S. military service, so it made sense that the Navy would want something to update from their Remington Rolling Block Rifles. The Winchester-Lee would not see nearly the numbers the Krag did due to manufacturing issues at Winchester. The Navy began additionally purchasing Krags in about 1900. Only about 20,000 were made altogether, with only about 1,700 of those being the Sporting Model.
The overall condition is very good. The action is as strong as ever. The bore is in good shape with nice rifling. The stock has been shortened from the full-length musket configuration, likely to lighten the rifle.
