Nice display, I count 4 '95s. The SRC I have coming is .30 U.S., probably not as nice as your .30 Govt. Dont forget to post that 36" barreled '95 of your brothers someday. I wanna see that.

I got way more than a pound of dirt out of it when I took it apart. And I had a real puzzle getting back together. Now I know more about them, I realize someone shortened the barrel. I since bought a 257 Krag Ackley reamer and dies, and I might take it apart again. I have been collecting guns for 20 years, but for the last 3 years since my father died, I seem to be indiscriminately buying old Winchesters and Colts. I would not want to die without owning more Winchesters than I have now.

Not to split hairs but .30 Gov't refers to .30-06 (or .30-03), .30 U.S. is the .30-40 Krag.

It wears an old Jostam Anti-Flinch pad that I've heard could have been factory installed, but the LOP is 13 1/2" so I think it was added later. Does your pad have any markings? I'll probably replace it with a period correct repro because it's squashed.

My rifle is just an honest used rifle,not pretty but not cleaned up or beat up. I gave a friend of mine decent money for it ,because he was going thru a divorce !!! I'm kinda like Boltman i think you have a super lever gun collection and im not trying to steal your thread !!IM just a levergun nut !!!!
