Offered for sale is a Winchester Model 1895 .30 U.S./.30-40 Krag Carbine. The carbine features a 21 1/2" barrel, walnut stocks, 5 round magazine, adjustable rear sight, and blue'd finish. The Winchester Model 1895 is a lever-action repeating firearm developed and manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in the late 19th century, chambered for a number of full-size military and hunting cartridges such as 7.62×54mmR, .303 British, .30-03, .30 Army, .30-06, .35 Winchester, .38-72 Winchester, .40-72 Winchester and .405 Winchester. 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 spitzer (pointed) bullets. The M1895 was also the last of the lever-action rifles to be designed by John Browning, and featured a rear locking bolt as in his previous designs dating back to the Winchester 1886. The M1895 is the strongest lever-action rifle Winchester has produced, designed to handle the increased pressures generated by the more powerful smokeless powder cartridges entering common use at the time of its introduction. The rifle shows good condition for its age. It shows some pitting and wear to finish. The mechnaics are in good functioning order. The bore shows strong rifling with slight pitting and darkness in the lands. This rifle was manufactured in 1902. Curio & Relic firearm. FFL transfer or NICS background check required.
