EXCEPTIONALLY RARE 1895 FACTORY SHORT RIFLE, .30-40 KRAG CAL. WITH SPECIAL 24" BARREL
Description: EXCEPTIONALLY RARE 1895 FACTORY SHORT RIFLE, .30-40 KRAG CALIBER WITH SPECIAL 24" BARREL (STANDARD WAS 28"), MADE 1912, according to the Winchester Handbook by Madis only 88 rifles were made with barrels shorter than standard (taken from the Winchester records up until 1906 or the first 60,000 1895s) I'm sure a few were made- like this one- after that date, but it does show the scarcity! Easy to tell a cut rifle in this caliber as the standard front sight has a base sweated to the barrel with blade/bead attached, almost all cut rifles simply have an incorrect dovetail put in for a front sight, the base on this is in the correct place and is Winchester perfect, over the years I've seen a few 24" 30-40 rifles and they were identical to this, comes with a leather saddle scabbard and when his rifle turned up in Southern California it was in the scabbard- might have come out of Mexico at some time- fine blue overall on barrel and receiver with normal freckling from being in the leather scabbard, but not overly blue-worn, exc. markings, exc. sharp bore that is a little dark only, generally fine wood that shows light handling only with tight wood to metal fit, tight action, for some reason the rear sight is marked "Savage Arms" so is a replacement, but seems to have always been on this one, good markings, no extra holes, very rare configuration and lots of western flavor with scabbard! SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1895 SHORT RIFLE Serial Number: 65XXX Caliber Info: .30-40 KRAG Condition: fine+ Barrels: 24 |
