Here we have an honest and true Winchester Model 1895 lever action rifle chambered in .30-40 Krag (.30 US). The Winchester Model 1895 is an American lever-action repeating firearm developed and manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in the late 19th century, chambered for a number of full-size military and hunting cartridges such as 7.62×54mmR, .303 British, .30-03, .30 Army, .30-06, .35 Winchester, .38-72 Winchester, .40-72 Winchester and .405 Winchester. The Model 1895 was the first Winchester rifle to feature a box magazine that is located underneath the action instead of the tubular magazine design, which had remained fundamentally unchanged from the Winchester 1866. This allowed the rifle to safely chamber military and hunting cartridges with spitzer (pointed) bullets. The M1895 was also the last of the lever-action rifles to be designed by John Browning, and featured a rear locking bolt as in his previous designs dating back to the Winchester 1886. The M1895 is the strongest lever-action rifle Winchester has produced, designed to handle the increased pressures generated by the more powerful smokeless powder cartridges entering common use at the time of its introduction. This example has a dark walnut stock and forend - it appears that at some point someone put a gloss lacquered finish on the butt stock. The metal has worn to a warm patina and has developed some high edge wear and a few handling marks over the last 124 years. The wood is in excellent condition with a few dinks and one very small crack in the forend on the upper right side close to the front of the receiver - nothing that would cause structural weakness. The action is very smooth and locks up tightly and the trigger is very good and crisp. Overall physical and functional condition is excellent. This historical piece would make an excellent addition to an existing collection or a great beginning to a new collection. If this rifle could talk it would likely tell of great adventures.
