This is an excellent example of a Winchester Model 1895 carbine that was manufactured circa 1920. The carbine features the military style forearm with grasping grooves, military type handguard and folding leaf rear sight. A staple-mounted saddle ring is located on the left side of the receiver. The carbine style buttplate has a sliding steel trapdoor and the butt-trap contains the military style bore brush and thong. The barrel, barrel band, receiver, bolt, magazine, lever and buttplate have the Winchester commercial blue finish. The hand guard, stock and forearm are straight grain American walnut with a military style oil finish. The top of the receiver is stamped with the Winchester oval "W/P" proof mark above the caliber designation "30/ARMY". The left side of the receiver is roll-stamped: "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN. CONN." in a single line above the 1895-1907 patent dates. The upper tang is roll-stamped: "MODEL 1895/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK REG. U.S. PAT. OfF & FGN." in three lines. The serial number, "401555" and "B" are stamped across the lower tang behind the trigger. The John M. Browning designed Model 1895 Winchester rifles and carbines featured the unique, non-detachable box magazine and were capable of handling high power smokeless powder cartridges.

Excellent plus. The carbine is all original and retains 98% of the original commercial blue finish. Protected portions of the receiver are covered with old packing grease. Wear is limited to the some minor scuff marks on the lever latch and adjacent portions of the magazine and numerous shallow dents on the right rear side of the receiver near the stock wrist. The stock, forearm and handguard are in new condition with all of the original finish present. The edges of the grasping grooves on the stock are sharp. This is an outstanding example of a Winchester Model 1895 carbine in nearly mint condition.
