We finally have our local wildfire contained at a little over 50,000 acres and I’m hoping to be done making episodes about firefighting and can get back to making more shooting videos. In our latest episode, I get to shoot a couple of deluxe 1895 carbines that I’ve been meaning to shoot for a long while.
I sold a .303 on GB a year ago. Also sold a carbine that has some real nice figured wood on it. I never thought that it might be a deluxe.
Shoot low boys. They're riding Shetland Ponies.

Nicely done, Mark! The 1895 is my least favorite Winchester lever gun but one of mine went to the range with me recently and it certainly put a smile on my face. The history of the rifle was a nice touch, especially to a TR fan. Hadn’t realized Cody was a fan of the 1895. The 30US is a joy to shoot, carbines look like fun but I’m stuck with rifles for now. Thanks for sharing your deluxe carbines with us, can’t recall seeing more than a few outside of Brad and Rob’s excellent book.
Thanks for pointing out that most of these old guns can be shot and the honest truth is most of us won’t be around long enough to wear them out, as long as we take good care of them. I don’t own any old Winchesters, I’m merely the current custodian.

Mark,
Glad you’re local wildfire has been contained. Great video again. Those deluxe carbines are really nice. The unfired one you mentioned toward the end of the video being owned by a railroad and found in a crate along with several crates of unissued 1894’s interests me. I have an unissued Norfolk and Western Railway 1894 src and the crate that was discovered unissued in a N&W railway warehouse in 1967 by the Chief Special Agent at Roanoke, VA.
