📜The Model 1895 is the last lever action rifle in custody of the Winchester firm. If the 1894 was the first gun of the firm to fire small caliber smokeless powder cartridges, the 1895 allowed it to fire large caliber cartridges, thanks to the removal of the tubular magazine by John Moses Browning.
This 1895 is very easily distinguished by its vertical magazine located in the receiver.
The most intensive use of this 1895 model will be made by Russia during the First World War. Russia lacked weapons in 1914 and signed a contract in 1915 with Winchester for Mle1895 chambered in 7.62x54r and accepting clips from mosin nagant.
