RARE Winchester Model 1895 FLATSIDE, CAL: 40-72 WCF, MFG: 1896 ANTIQUE, SN: 731, Lever Action Rifle, 26'' tapered octagon barrel. This 2nd year, three digit SN rifle is one of the first 5,000 rifles made in the first two years known as flatside rifles. Of the 5,000 flatside rifles produced, the majority were chambered in 30 US & carry a round barrel. This example in 40-72 with an octagon barrel is rare & desirable amongst collectors & commands a premium above other flatside rifles. The original straight grip wood stocks are very good & solid, displaying the remains of thinned original finish with some added oils. The Schnabel forend carries the ebony insert. The stocks display numerous small contusions or scratches, a tight 1'' hairline crack at the buttplate, a 1'' edge chip at the top of the wrist & a couple of small edge chips. The metal blue finish is 80% on the barrel of a plum/brown patina. The lever & mag carry 50% coverage of a brown patina, while the receiver is full worn gun metal gray. Bore is very good, with intermittent spotting. Barrel is fitted with adjustable buckhorn rear sight & factory front sight. Smooth crescent metal buttplate. Comes with Cody Winchester Factory Records Look-up sheet Confirming configuration & dates. This is very desirable early flatside rifle. NO FFL Req. - Value: 3000 to 6000
