c1922 LEFT-HANDED WINCHESTER Model 1895 .30-06 LEVER ACTION Carbine C&R
ROARING TWENTIES Custom Rifle Inscribed “W.C. Wade” w/SLING
Here we present a C&R Left Handed Winchester Model 1895 Lever Action Repeating Rifle manufactured in 1922 in New Haven, Connecticut, and chambered in .30-06 Springfield. 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.
Though this rifle is chambered in .30-06, the Model 1895 rifle in .30 US is 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, to include 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.
This example has an inlaid silver diamond in the bottom of the forearm inscribed “W.C. Wade”. The rifle has been restocked with figured walnut and the butt stock has a cheek rest on the right side for a left-handed shooter. The rifle can comfortably be mounted and fired by a right-handed shooter in our opinion. There is a Redfield peep sight mounted on the receiver and a Lyman front sight. Also included is a leather sling.
The overall condition is near fine. Refinished. The action is excellent and the bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The stock has fantastic grain structure and remains solid. There is a tiny chip out of the left side of the wrist at the upper tang. Chambered for one of the greatest rifle cartridges of all time!
