Make: Winchester

Model: 95 Carbine

Serial Number: 423669

Year of Manufacture: 1929

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 blade appears to have previously had a bead, but it has broken off. The top of the barrel has two drilled, tapped and filled holes for the original rear sight (not present). The left of the receiver has a Lyman No. 21 receiver sight installed, the tensioning screw does not have a finger-lever.

Stock Configuration and Condition: The stocks are smooth walnut with finger-grooved forend, straight wrist, straight comb, and checkered hard rubber Winchester buttplate. There is a sling eyelet installed in the belly near the toe and another mounted to the forend's barrel band. The forend has recesses for a handguard's spring-clips, but no handguard is present. There is a small loss at the toe and a few tiny losses at the front corners of the wrist. The wrist has discoloration around the edges. There are a few other scattered minor marks. The LOP measures 12"" from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate, indicating that the stock has been cut and the plate is not original. The plate has scattered light wear and well defined checkering. Overall, the stocks are in about Very Good condition as refinished.

Type of Finish: Blued

Finish Originality: Refinished

Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is infrequent minor erosion in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 9 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 87% of its metal finish. The finish is generally strong, most of the balance is light surface oxidation on the receiver. There is oxidation at the rear sight fill-screws on the barrel. There is scattered erosion under the finish on the receiver and bolt. The saddle ring is missing. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots. The markings are clear. Overall, the rifle is in Very Good condition as refinished.

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 saddle ring carbine was made in 1929 during the inter-war years. This example, chambered in .30-40 Krag has had its original ladder rear sight removed, but the receiver has a Lyman No. 21 receiver sight. The saddle ring has been removed as well as the handguard over the forend. The rifle is in Very Good condition as refinished, retaining much of its new metal finish, a strong bore and great mechanics. This is a neat find for the Winchester collectors and should make for a good shooter, too. Please see our photos and good luck!
