Description: At the time of its introduction, the 1895 was considered the lever action big-game rifle, but it also saw favor with some militaries, being purchased in large numbers by the Russian Empire for WWI, given to Pancho Villa's best troops during the Mexican Revolution, and 10,000 were purchased by the US Military for use during the Spanish American War. Teddy Roosevelt himself favored the 1895 Winchester, considering his rifle chambered in .405 to be the "medicine gun" for lion. With its quick handling characteristics, box magazine and pointed bullet capability, the Model 1895 changed the world of sporting rifles forever. This rifle is a version which was made in 1915 with a barrel chambered in .30-03. The .30-03 was only a standard chambering for the 1895 from its introduction in 1905 until 1908 when it was replaced by the new .30-06 cartridge. After 1908, the .30-03 was only available by special order, indicating that this is a special order rifle. This example shows its age, but is a neat specimen of a special-order, Model 1895. The action functions correctly and smooth, trigger is crisp, and the lever locks up correctly. .30 GOV'T' 03 SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Metal Condition: Overall Really Good with light pitting and worn off blued finish from handling/use/age.
