Description:
6mm Lee Navy WINCHESTER-LEE Model 1895 STRAIGHT PULL Bolt Rifle C&R.236 USN
SCARCE Model 1895; 1 OF 1,700 and Made circa 1906
Here we present a Winchester-Lee Model 1895 Straight Pull Bolt Action Sporting Rifle, manufactured circa 1906 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.
Not many straight pull rifles were designed worldwide, but here we have one that was designed and made in America!
The overall condition is near fine. Original blue finish. The action is strong and tight. The bore is bright with defined rifling. Nice, smooth, solid stock. A very nice Winchester-Lee in an early, small bore, military cartridge!
