Strange question since I just bought one! I was perusing the gun auction websites and couldn't resist. I gotta quit doing that! The price was good, at least.
The only experience I have with the rifle is reassembling one for a friend who inherited one from his dad and took it apart for a detail cleaning. I seem to remember the thing being needlessly complex. It was the coolest looking thing I ever saw though.
So, who loves the 1895 and why?
