I’ve never seen an 1895 with trap-door butt plate like this. Is it factory original?

Don,
No, it is not factory original. A good friend of mine showed that rifle to me at the Big Reno show a few years ago (he was interested in buying it). We ran the serial number with Jessica (she was at the show), and it does not letter with that butt plate (and a few other things that I can not remember). The butt plate was the focal point of the conversation when I had it in my hands.

Thanks Bert. I thought it was odd that the seller of such a high condition / high priced gun isn’t backing it up with a factory letter. It’s a sharp looking gun, but for that price I would want factory original.
