If you can find a copy of his bio "I'm Frank Hamer" for less than $200 snag it! It's a good read! When he and his family lived over on Riverside drive in Austin he had a pet Javalina That had run of the neighborhood! LOL!

Sent me this photo he found of a group of Rangers in south Texas in 1915. This would have been around the time of the "plan of San Diego" so it's a pretty good bet these fellas saw a bit of additional action along the border! Look at all those 95's!

I've got a couple old 33 RPM vinyl albums with the poems of Robert Service read by Stewart Hamblem including "The Cremation of Sam McGee". Wonderful stuff from the old days. yooper

Service has a cameo appearance in it!!! In a saloon scene they have him composing "The Shooting of Dan MaGrew"!!! He spent a few years in Hollywood as a writer.

I found Ken Water's Pet Loads article and data to be most useful though, I even corresponded with Ken regarding loads for the .35 WCF back in the day when he was andwering reader questions with a hand signed letter. I still have several of those letters, one devoted exclusively to M/95 .35 WCF and Kens experiences and loads. I agree regarding the "climbin Lyman" being the sight that would improve the shooting ability with that rifle but like you would not even think of drilling a rifle as nice as yours. The repro sights while not as costly as an original look like a repro and I would not consider putting one on an original rifle, a Browning '95 would be another story.

Just in the event I have an opportunity at a blue bull. Doubt I'll do any deer hunting. And there is also the much appreciated pig cull that always goes on down there. That IMR 4320 load seems to be the one to stick with! It shoots them 250 grain RN's real good!! Founder Ancient Order of the 1895 Winchester "Come, shall we go and kill us venison?

Did any at all make it into production beyond the few made for gov't trials? I know very little re: 1895's. My question is based on a blurb I read last night in Phil Sharpe's "The Rifle in America" description of the '95 Winchester. Last edited by gnoahhh; 10/29/15.

The most bizarre 95 I'd ever seen was a takedown model that had been reworked in Germany to some small Vom Hofe cartridge. Like 6mm or something. Came in the shop in a leg of mutton case. Best I remember it was a flat side. And best I remember it was t factory takedown. Solid rib barrel and all. That was over 30 years ago. And I had a gunsmith compadre and hunting buddy that made himself a 6.5 x 55, 95 rifle too! Just on a whim. But I would like to see an example of the one you speak of!
