Description:
ONE OF THE FIRST 1895 RIFLES MADE WITH "ESCALLOPED" RECEIVER, .30-40 KRAG CALIBER, #50XX, MADE 1897! It is generally accepted that the first approx. 5,000 1895s were made with flat side receivers and after that the new style was introduced. and used until the end of production. The factory letter that goes with this one states The serial number was applied November 27, 1897 and that it is a rifle, .30 caliber, received in the warehouse on January 12, 1898 and shipped January 14, 1898. This an attractive rifle that still shows good aged barrel blue with the "30 US" caliber marking ahead of the receiver and is fitted with the standard buckhorn rear sight with elevator bar and correct raised blade front sight. The receiver shows fine thinning blue on both sides and magazine sides as well as on the bolt. Fine receiver and tang markings. The bore is fine with sharp rifling and one very small "ring" about six inches from the muzzle. Tight action, excellent screws. Stock and forend show light handling only with tight wood to metal fit. It would be hard to find an earlier example!
