Trying to find out more info. It is a model 95 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.'

Not unknown, but certainly a rare factory option. Congrats on your find! http://www.rarewinchesters.com.../1895/model_95.shtml "I'm not fluent in the language of violence, but I know enough to get around in places where it's spoken." | |||

Thank you for the response and link. I've been all over that site. All over the internet I haven't been able to find anything not even a pic of anything like this rifle. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.'

Shame the receiver sight is missing. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

It looks like someone drilled the receiver for a sight or scope mount. I hate when that happens. Nice rifle (except for the extra holes)! Go to the Cody museum site and order a letter/search on it. ******************************************** "On the other side of fear you will always find freedom" | |||

looks like the holes needed for the Lyman rear sight, the long one that pivots on a front pin or screw and has a sheet metal like bend for the rear sight near the hammer https://chandlersfirearms.com/chesterfield-armament/ | |||

Comparing that lever to the pistol gripped models in the link Pulicords posted, and looking at the lines and newness of the butt stock, I wonder if that is a custom job and not a 1895 Winchester pistol grip rifle. | |||

Judging by the mismatched wood and the fact that at least in the photo the bend in the lever doesn't quite match the contour of the grip... Will a model 71 stock bolt up to a 95? _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||
