Make: Winchester

Model: Custom 1895 Carbine

Serial Number: 22814

Year of Manufacture: 1899

Caliber: .30-40 Krag (.30 Army)

Action Type: Lever Action with Internal Box Magazine

Barrel Length: 22"

Sights/Optics: The front sight is a blade pinned to a slotted base at the front of the barrel. The top of the barrel has five drilled and tapped holes, one pair at the receiver, one pair over the front of the forend, and one hole between the pairs. Four of the holes are filled, the second from the rear is not. The left of the receiver has a Lyman 21 receiver sight installed.

Stock Configuration and Condition: The stocks are smooth walnut with schnabel forend, inlaid ebony tip, straight grip, straight comb with shadow-line cheekpiece, and a checkered hard rubber Winchester buttplate. There is a hole in the belly for a sling stud (not present), there is no provision for a forward sling mount. The forend has cracks at the front on each side and at the rear on the left. There is a small loss at the top-rear corner of the forend on the left. The stocks have scattered nicks, dings, scuffs and scratches. The LOP measures 12 7/8" from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The plate has light wear with well defined checkering. Overall, the stocks are in Good condition as partially not original to the gun.

Type of Finish: Blue, Case Color Hammer & Trigger Plate

Finish Originality: Original to the parts. The oval "P" on the barrel indicates that it was replaced outside the factory. We suspect that the muzzle-end of the barrel was touched up.

Bore Condition: The bore has been re-lined and is counter-bored about 1/2" into the liner. The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is infrequent stubborn erosion and some copper fouling in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 8 out of 10 as re-lined.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 25% of its metal finish. Finish is mostly in protected areas and around raised features. The barrel has an oddly well-defined band of oxidation at the muzzle with what appears to be touched-up blue around the front sight. There is some finish along the bottom of the barrel with scattered wear and minor oxidation along the top. The receiver has mostly gone to a light patina with scattered minor oxidation. There are some light nicks and scratches. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to disfigured with usable slots. The markings range from clear to worn, but legible. Overall, the rifle is in about Good condition as customized.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We have not fired this rifle. As with all used firearms, thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.

Box, Paperwork, and Accessories: None.

Our Assessment: The 1895 Winchester was the first lever action model to incorporate a fixed box magazine (i.e., it could not be removed). This is the model Teddy Roosevelt used for hunting both here in the United States and in Africa—he referred to it as his “Big Medicine”. With quick handling characteristics, a box magazine, and spitzer—more aerodynamic, accurate—bullet capability, the Model 1895 completely changed the world of sporting rifles. This rifle pattern was utilized by major powers worldwide, with Russia alone purchasing nearly 300,000 1895 rifles in the lead-up to World War I. In 1898, the United States ordered 10,000 1895 rifles in musket form for use in the Spanish-American War (the war ended before they could be delivered, however). One hundred of those were issued for field testing in the Philippines and the remaining 9,900 were later sold to a private business. Many 1895 rifles were shipped to the new Cuban government in 1906 and some even found their way to Pancho Villa’s troops in Mexico.

This custom carbine was made in 1899 right at the turn of the century. This example, chambered in .30-40 Krag appears to have had a long and useful life. Its barrel was replaced sometime after 1905 and has since been re-lined and counter-bored. The buttstock has been replaced and now has an attractive shadow-line cheekpiece. The barrel has provisions for mounting sights, but currently the rear sight is a Lyman 21 Receiver sight. The rifle is in about Good condition as customized, retaining 25% metal finish, a strong bore and good mechanics. This is a neat find for the Winchester collectors and should still prove to be a good shooter. Please see our photos and good luck!

This example was made in 1899 right at the turn of the century. Its 28" barrel is chambered for the .30-40 Krag cartridge, still designated as ".30 U.S." in 1899 while it was the cartridge used by the Army's standard infantry rifle. The rifle is in Good condition, retaining 10% original metal finish, a fair bore and good mechanics, appearing to have seen its fair share of use over the last 125 years. This would be a neat addition to a Winchester collection missing the 1895 Model. Please see our photos and good luck!

The stocks rate in Good-plus overall condition as repaired Antique.

Type of Finish: Blue, Case Hardened Hammer & Trigger Plate

Finish Originality: Original

Bore Condition: The bore is dark. The rifling is worn, but visible. There is erosion and pitting scattered through the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates about 4 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 20% of its metal finish. There is scattered remaining finish, mostly in protected areas or around raised features, with a little on exposed flats. There are scattered nicks, scuffs, and scratches. There is some scattered light surface oxidation and erosion. The action shows operational wear.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.

Our Assessment: The 1895 Winchester was the first model to incorporate a non-detachable box magazine. This is the model Teddy Roosevelt called his “Big Medicine” that he used in hunting here and in Africa. The rifle became the preference of major powers worldwide, with Russia alone purchasing nearly 300,000 1895’s just before World War I. The Model 1895 was designed for the new generation of cartridges utilizing smokeless powder and spitzer (pointed) bullets, and many of its original chamberings remain popular today. With its quick handling characteristics, box magazine and pointed bullet capability, the Model 1895 changed the world of sporting rifles forever.

This is a particularly early 1895 chambered for .38-72. While a potent cartridge, able to fire a 275 grain projectile at nearly 1,500 fps, it was developed as a black powder cartridge at the outset of the smokeless era. The cartridge was swiftly replaced by faster and more powerful smokeless cartridges. The rifle is in Very Good condition and appears to have been someone’s favorite. The barrel has been shortened with a repair to the stock, showing honest wear consistent with its age of nearly 130 years. An early “flatside” model, the receiver and magazine have a different profile than the later production rifles. This along with its octagonal barrel makes it a nice find for the collectors. Who knows? Maybe the handloaders may get it back out on the range or in the field for another century. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: By the early 1920’s, Winchester’s Model 94 rifle was losing sales, and in 1924 Winchester introduced an updated version of the Model 94 rifle dubbed the Model 55. The Winchester Model 55 was a rifle with a 24-inch barrel, a half-magazine that held three cartridges and was a takedown rifle which was convenient for storage and transport. It was initially chambered only in .30-30 Win., but .25-35 Win. and .32 Win. Spl. were added in 1926. For the first few years, the Model 55 carried its own set of serial numbers. Eventually, Winchester started producing Models 55 with a solid frame, using Model 94 receivers and serialized in the established Model 94 range. In 1932, with approximately 20,500 guns made, the Model 55 was discontinued to make way for the Winchester Model 64. This rifle was made in 1928, with a takedown action and serialized in the Model 94 serial range. The rifle has honest wear consistent with its age, but it still retains a strong bore and mechanics. This rifle could be heading back out in the field to drop some deer but would also help round out a collection missing the Model 55. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: Winchester’s venerable Model 94 rifle, long a favorite of hunters and outdoorsmen, was beginning to lose sales in the early 1920’s, although the shorter barreled carbine was still popular. More people were traveling by motorcar and railroad, and Winchester thought a takedown rifle based on the Model 94 would sell well. The Model 55 was introduced in 1924, but never sold particularly well, and was discontinued in 1932 when it was superseded by the Model 64. The Model 64 was a redesign of the Model 55 with a longer magazine tube and made with a solid frame only. The Model 64 stayed in production until 1957, with a total of only 66,783 manufactured, making it one of the more scarce lever action models made by Winchester. A 2nd batch of 8,250 was produced in the early 1970s, designated the 64A.

This is a Winchester Model 64A Rifle in .30-30 with a 24” barrel and 3/4 length magazine tube. The .30-30 is perhaps the most popular cartridge for deer hunting in America and paired with the 94 action, is among the most common deer rifles in the country. This rifle is in about Fine overall condition, showing minor wear, a strong bore and good mechanics. If the collectors don’t take enough notice, this will make someone a very nice hunting rifle. Please see our photos and good luck!

This is a custom-assembled Winchester with a Model 64 barrel in .219 Zipper. The receiver may be from an original Model 64 or the bottom tang could have been altered to its current pistol-grip profile. The .219 zipper is essentially a .30-30 necked down to .22 caliber, making for a "zippy" varmint cartridge suitable for a lever-action rifle. The rifle is in Very Good overall condition as custom-assembled, showing honest wear, a decent bore and strong mechanics. If the collectors don’t take enough notice, this will make someone a very interesting hunting rifle. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 65 had a relatively short run in the time span of Winchester lever-action rifles. Manufactured from 1933 to 1947, the Model 65 could be described as a successor to the Model 53, which itself was an improvement on the design of the famous Model 1892. The Model 65 was the rarest of the 1892 family. Only about 5,700 were manufactured, compared to 25,000 for the Model 53 and approximately a million for the 1892. The Model 1892 and its successors were all chambered in popular small-game cartridges. With its limited production, original finish and pre-war manufacture date, this Model 65 should be of interest to the Winchester collectors.

Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 65 had a relatively short run in the time-span of Winchester lever-action rifles. Manufactured from 1933 to 1945, the Model 65 could be described as a successor to the Model 53, which itself was an improvement on the design of the famous Model 1892. The Model 65 was the rarest of the 1892 family. Only about 7,000 were manufactured, compared to 25,000 for the Model 53 and approximately a million for the 1892. The Model 1892 and its successors were all chambered in popular small-game cartridges. This Model 65 was produced fairly early, ca. 1937. The .25-20 WCF is based on the .32-20 cartridge necked down to .25 caliber. Introduced in 1895, it was popular in its day for small game and is still in production today. This rifle retains original finish, a good bore and strong mechanics, though there is some damage to the stocks. With its limited production and pre-war manufacture date, this Model 65 should be of interest to the Winchester collectors and should still prove to be a fun shooter. Please see our photos and good luck!

Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Model 71 rifle made in 1937. The Model 71 was a continuation of the 1886 design, with a pistol grip, shorter magazine tube and round barrel, produced in only two variants, 24" and 20". This rifle is chambered in .348 WCF, the only cartridge the 71 was ever chambered for besides experimental models, and which was actually developed just for this model. The cartridge is great for North American big game hunting in brush where shorter shots are taken and with modern projectiles such as Hornady's Lever-evolution can now perform well at longer ranges, as well.

This rifle is in Very Good condition with about 94% of its original metal finish remaining. The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling and a little minor erosion. The stocks have some light damage consistent with use in the field. All of the Winchester rifles made before 1964 are prized by shooters and collectors alike, but the Model 71 was produced for 22 years, a relatively short production life for a Winchester, with fewer than 50,000 rifles made altogether. A model 71 in any condition will likely bring a lot of interest from the Winchester collectors and this example retains much of its original metal finish, a nice bore and strong mechanics. It would make for a nice shooter or addition to a collection. Please see our photos and good luck!
