Winchester 1895's|Page 2|What's New!|Forum|Winchester Collector

A good friend of mine has an 1895 deluxe with factory fancy checkered walnut and a crescent butt plate, chambered in 405 WCF.  He filled the magazine and offered me the rifle to shoot. I fired exactly one round and promptly handed it back to him.  I had no interest in firing it a second time!

I need advice on 1895 38-72 octagon barrel crescent butt SN 42125. As per WACA it was DOM 1903  but has a King rear sight Pat. 1907.  As per Stroebel, correct sights could be Winchester 22A, 22B or 24B. I need something correct but not expensive as this is not high condition. I believe the front sight is a Lyman no. 3 (ivory bead. Any advice ? Don

Don,  Either wait for Ben to chip in or see if you can contact him directly.  Should find his posts in the Sights columns.  Tim
