1917 WINCHESTER M1895 .30-06 Springfield LEVER ACTION Repeating Rifle C&R
Turn of the Century Rifle Chosen by Hunters and Frontiersmen
Here Ancestry Guns presents a C&R Winchester Model 1895 Lever Action Repeating Rifle manufactured in 1917 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.
The overall condition is fine. Original finishes are preserved on the barrel. Robust, crisp action. Shiny bore with sharp rifling. Markings are sharp. This example sports a solid stock and forend with average wear.
This 1895 Winchester has a bit of everything going for it: an innovative design by none other than John Moses Browning, a history of usage by many of the top hunters of the early-20th Century and chambered in a powerful cartridge that is still used everywhere today!
