54 Woody! Would not be difficult to set yourself up and reload 40/72! New Brass Ian out there!! And that rifle should be a cast bullet wonder if it's still got a decent bore!!! There another sometimes poster here. A bit of an old Warhorse that still loads and shoots his 40/72 flatside!!!

Great Thread! I had a friend showed me one of his dad's old deer rifles in the early 1980's. It was a '95 in 35 Winchester.
I believe it had a shotgun butt stock on it. pretty sure it did not have the crescent butt plate I would have remembered that.
trying to get my '91 vintage '86 ready to hunt, I'm getting close. This thread is lighting a fire under my ass to get going!

Looks like a musket with the top wood missing, the rear sight looks like a buffington. I got one of those 1895 flatsides in 40-72,you guys got me thinking about digging it out and running a few rounds thru it.

I think I bent my extractor? Ant suggestions?

I think I bent my extractor? Ant suggestions? If you can't straighten it out, http://homesteadparts.com/shopcart/pid_2349.htmWhat makes you think you bent it? Postscript, If you've never worked on an 1895 or taken one apart, I do suggest you refer to a competent smith who is familiar with them. Not really difficult, just taxing for the beginner!

Had one of these for a few years.... 30 ARMY if i recollect. Sold to a campfire member. Shiny metal on stock appears to be soft lead, perhaps a bullet hammered into the stock. Never shot it. The Krag on the other hand gets frequent use. ![[Linked Image]](http://i572.photobucket.com/albums/ss165/CaliRN/krag%201895%20007.jpg)

I've been a lever action guy all my life, man and boy. From the time I started deer hunting at 14 years old till this year at 80. I've owned and used just about every kind and caliber lever gun made in all those years except a 1895. This year I acquired a 1895 in 30-06 made in 1912. It was marked 30 US and sold to me as a 30-40. It didn't take long to discover it was an 06. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.shrewbows.com/rons_linkpics/Winchester-Model-1895.jpg) I hunted with it this year in the late season and took a doe with it. It sports a Lyman 21 peep. I love this old 104 year old gun...I wish it could talk.
