Every time I think I know something about Winchesters, there's a rifle that proves me wrong! I replied earlier to Clarkm that .30 U.S. is the .30-40 and .30 Gov't is the .30-03/06. Then you post your .30 U.S. Mod 1903 and I'm off base, again! I guess you can't count on anything being standard with old Winchesters.
That's a beautiful carbine you have there! I notice the two dots on the elevation scale of the Lyman. I read somewhere that's an indication of it being a factory installed option. Did you letter it?


In my recollection of my experience, the M1895 in .30/40 Krag are marked .30 US or .30 US Army and the .30/03's and .30/06's have "Govt" in the cartridge marking. I'm just going on memory as I have no reference materials at hand (in others words, I'm working without a net today) wink

As far as having that carbine lettered, it's way too late production.
