Description
Winchester 1895 .30 Army With 21.5″ Barrel Lever Action Rifle
This early-production Winchester Model 1895 lever action rifle in .30 Army offers a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship of one of John Browning’s most rugged and revolutionary designs. Built during the first few years of production, this rifle features a 21.5 inch barrel and the solid-frame configuration preferred by early sportsmen and cavalry alike. Though it has seen use over its lifetime, it remains in good working order and retains the characteristic lines and balance of the original model.
The rifle exhibits honest wear, with a smooth lever action and a solid trigger break that reflect the reliability of the platform. The original recoil pad has been replaced with a later-period soft pad, but the stock remains sound. A true collector’s piece with field-ready function, this Model 1895 is perfect for anyone who appreciates pre-20th-century Winchester craftsmanship or the legacy of lever-action power in a military and sporting context.

Additional Information
The Winchester Model 1895 was designed by John Browning to handle the then-new smokeless powder cartridges. Unlike earlier lever-action rifles, the 1895 features a box magazine that accommodates pointed bullets—making it ideal for high-velocity cartridges like the .30-40 Krag, .30-06 Springfield, and others. The model was used in military and sporting roles, with notable service in the hands of Roosevelt’s Rough Riders and the Russian Army. Its flat-sided receiver and robust design marked a major evolution in lever-action firearms, bridging the gap between Old West repeaters and modern hunting rifles.
