Description:

Manufactured in 1932, this was the first non-detachable box magazine rifle made by Winchester. The left side rear of the barrel is marked "MADE IN U.S.A." followed by the two line nickel steel/smokeless powder marking followed by "-30 ARMY", and the Winchester oval proof is marked on the top of the barrel and receiver at the breech. The upper left side of the receiver is marked with the two-line address/patent dates, the upper tang is marked "MODEL 95/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK REG. U.S. PAT OFF& FGN." and the serial number appears on the lower tang behind the lever latch. The barrel is equipped with a pinned ramped blade front sight, rear leaf sight has been removed and replaced with filler block with the image of a ram's head and an adjustable rear Western peep sight is mounted on the receiver. Blue finish with crescent buttplate and mounted with a smooth walnut Schnabel forearm and straight grip stock.

Rating Definition:

Very good as partially refinished. The barrel retains 60% of the blue finish with some scattered scratches along the barrel and near the muzzle. The receiver retains 40% of the blue finish mixing to a smooth grey patina. The lever, magazine, hammer, and trigger retain 50% blue finish mixing to a smooth grey patina. The refinished wood is good with a few minor scratches and dings and a sliver of wood missing on the left side of the stock near the hammer. Mechanically excellent.
