1907 WINCHESTER Model 1895 .30-40 Krag Lever Action Rifle Peep Sight US C&R Turn of the Century Repeating Rifle in .30 US (.30-40 Krag)
Description: 1907 WINCHESTER Model 1895 .30-40 Krag Lever Action Rifle Peep Sight US C&R Turn of the Century Repeating Rifle in .30 US (.30-40 Krag) Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1895 Lever Action Rifle in .30-40 Krag, manufactured in 1907 in New Haven, Connecticut. This one is equipped with a Redfield receiver mounted peep sight. 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. The Model 1895 rifle in .30 US is most 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. The overall condition is fine. Strong, crisp action! Bright bore with nice rifling. Original blue finish preserved. Very nice walnut stock. The markings are sharp! This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 28 inches. Caliber: .30 US (30-40 Krag) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $3635 #210521 Price: $3,635.00 Buy Now Curio/Relic: Yes Contact Seller |
