Here Ancestry Guns presents an Inscribed C&R Winchester Model 95 Lever Action Repeating Rifle manufactured in 1923 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.

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.

The overall condition is very fine. Much of the original blue is preserved. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. Excellent action. The buttstock is a period replacement and the original forend is fine. Markings are crisp. “F.A.M.” is inscribed on the left receiver. Marble front sight and Redfield rear peep.

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!
