I am interested in finding one or both of the following:

Varminter in 220 Swift caliber. Condition 95% to mint (not unfired - if such a thing even exists!)
Standard in 22 Hornet caliber. Condition 95% to mint (not unfired)

Guns need to be original without modifications.

Thanks!

I'm glad that Steve added the Link to the post.

Not sure what you're budget is or what you're thinking, so the one I posted, #49 would be on the lower side as a decent representative, with less upside. Many serious collectors wouldn't touch it.

The one Steve posted, #29 would be on the higher end of that spectrum and definitely a lot more desirable. With a lot more upside. IMO!

Interested in hearing how you wind up or decide what you want or find!

Tony's suggestion of lot #49 is a fine suggestion but I think lot #29 would be the better collector rifle:

I am looking to buy an 1895 flat-sided Winchester. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good gun to buy?

Barry,

Lot number #49, in the August RIA, has a flat side that's one of the original 5000 mfg. that you might want to take a peak at.

I second the suggestion on obtaining the 1895 Book by two very prominent members who truly put together a tremendous Winchester Model 1895 book for the collector who want to know more than just admiring them from afar.

Good point on being patient!

We look forward to you adding pictures and comments also.

I have been collecting for a long time, and I have found that if you are patient, you will find what you are looking for. I am just new to this site.

Start your 1895 collection by obtaining a copy of Rob Kassab and Brad Dunbar's book. Also check out the August Rock Island auction. There is a beautiful 38-72 with more special features than I have seen, a 40-72 that is a little more down to earth and a musket that belongs in my collection!
