Snowwolf, Would you be interested in an unfired Miroku M95 Deluxe in .405 WCF?

kaywoodie, Can you join the club if you run a "Japchester M1895"? I have one in 405 WCF that is a hoot to shoot and hunt with.
StarchedCover Great, I was scared to post our reproduction. .30-06 & my son loves it & has the keen eyes to use it !!

Again, of course. We are a very lax organization! Welcome to our happy group of miscreants. More the merrier!

I just picked up a new Browning Repo 1895 in 30-06. I want to put a peep on it for my old eyes. My old gun has an original Lyman 21 and I'm thinking about putting one of the new Lyman sights from buffalo Arms. What say you?....anyone have any experience with this sight on a Browning 1895?

They were produced by Providence Tool and the are well made! I removed two of them off of a customers Miroku Winchesters several years ago ( for some reason he wanted them removed and couldn't seem to do it himself. Go figure). Anyway being much of the time we Never saw the customer, I didn't get the opportunity to ask him if he wanted to sell them. Oh well.
But they are well made sights. You will have to have to drill one hole in receiver.

I would love to see someone make a lightweight "L" piece for the 1895. It could fit the 2 holes drilled and tapped on the side then come up and over the top of the action where a small red dot like the Burris could be mounted. Made out of aluminum it would only weigh an ounce or two and could be anodized to match the bluing.

I ordered one today, $147.00. Looks like they've come down in price, I hope they didn't sacrifice quality.

I just picked up a 1915 production 1895 in 35 WCF, it's pretty rough with a lot of pitting but I hope it's a shooter and the price was right! I plan on taking it cow elk hunting next year. Any advice on reloading for it would be appreciated. I'll post some pics when I get it.

Any advice on reloading for it would be appreciated. I'll post some pics when I get it. I do like that cartridge Helldiver! Old son and i both have '95's in .35 WCF. I believe i was shooting 48 grains of IMR 4320 with a 250 grain bullet (old Hornady RN). And 46 grains of IMR 4064 and a 200 grain Hornady RN. I have loaded 50 grains IMR 4320 with the 200 RN. But i think the 4064 load is better. Need to work up a good cast bullet load for it! Jamisons make some good brass but I believe all the suppliers or currently out. Least ones I visit online. Son blamed me for buying all Midway had! Mebbe Desert Okie will chime in! He's another 35 shooter!

I'm really excited about it! I think you gave me advice to pursue the 35 when I was talking about a .405 last year. I'll definitely post some pics when I get it. I'm thinking about maybe making some brass out of 405 hornady if I can't find any.

I'm thinking about maybe making some brass out of 405 hornady if I can't find any. I remember now! Looking forward to pics! You may have better luck using and finding the .405 brass! It's very doable. I loaded a few 200 RN's today. Its a good all around bullet for these parts. A hawg thumper for sure!

Ray Lewis on the TV series "The Last Alaskans" hunted with a Mod 1895 in 35 WCF. He was my favorite guy on the show because of the rifle he used. I was bummed out to hear that the Lewis family would not be a part of the show in 2017 .

Another one of my favorite characters on the show is Bob Harte who passed away from cancer. Bob truly loved the wilderness way of life and he will be missed.

Does he have an aperture mounted on the bolt?

Yes he does. I was thinking it was like a Williams WGRS-ML. Or something similar with a flat base. Someone here on forum Said his rifle Was originally a .30 Army that had been rebored.
Apparently someone has such an arrangement on my SRC. You could prolly cook up a lot of stuff given an ample supply of old rear sights!
