Description:
WINCHESTER Model 1895 .30-40 KRAG Lever Action SADDLE RING CARBINE
WORDL WAR I Era Repeater Chambered in .30US
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1895 Lever Action Saddle Ring Carbine manufactured in 1905 in New Haven, Connecticut, and chambered in .30 US, also known as .30-40 Krag. The Model 1895 was the first Winchester rifle to feature a box magazine 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 pointed bullets. The M1895 was also the last of the lever-action rifles to be designed by John Moses Browning and featured a rear locking bolt as in his previous designs dating back to the Winchester 1886. The M1895 was the strongest lever-action rifle Winchester had 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 Model 1895 rifle is chambered in the caliber most commonly associated today with former President Theodore Roosevelt and the Battle of San Juan Hill in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. However, it was also used by many famed hunters and adventurers, including Martin and Osa Johnson, Charles Cottar, and author Stewart Edward White. Gerrit Forbes, first cousin of Franklin D. Roosevelt, recommended the M1895 to Theodore Roosevelt who took two M1895 chambered in .405 rifles with him on his 1909 safari to East Africa.
The overall condition is good. The action is excellent. The bore is good with sharp rifling. The walnut stock is solid. AS IS.
This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
