Don't give up on that 1895 brother. I bought a ragged barreled receiver of a 1899, 30-30 Saddle ring carbine years ago in New Mexico. Over the years I was able to assemble the parts to put it back together. It looks like a "border gun" and the bore is a gopher hole but it will still group 3 inches at a hunnerd yards. It is the biggest draw and conversation starter at my table at gun shows. Don't give up Bro !!!
If we do not treat our dead with honor and respect; what hope is there for the living ?
