Here for your viewing pleasure is Winchester-Lee Model 1895 6mm Navy Rifle serial number 18003 with bayonet and scabbard. It was part of the second US Navy contract (serial numbers 15001-20000) inspected by Lt John N. Jordan (J.N.J as stamped on breech). Per the Winchester Repeating Fire Arms letter the serial number was applied to the on July 22, 1898; Caliber: N; received in warehouse on August 12, 1898 and shipped from warehouse on August 20, 1898; Order number 2689. It just missed the Spanish-American War but may have served during the Relief of the Foreign Legations in Peking during the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 or during the Philippine Insurrection 1899-1902. I’ll have to see if I can track down the USN or USMC ship/unit which eventually received this rifle.

Cool rifle, lots of history. I picked up one of these at a gun show in Alaska for 100.00 a few years back. The serial #showed it to be one of the ones salvaged and reconditioned from the USS Maine. That’s the good news. The bad news is somebody had cut six inches off the barrel. poop

Here is a box of 20 rounds of Remington-UMC 6mm USN ammo and S&S Firearms repro clip/spring for this rifle. I think the ammo dates from around 1920-30; anybody know a difinite date of manufacture?
