Old son busted hogs a couple of evenings ago while feeding the cows. He has my first .35 WCF now and has been very successful harvesting hogs and deer with it. ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.cc/u45x883c7/E454_ABE2-48_ED-46_AD-841_E-_EE722_BAAAA7_F.jpg) So he shows up here at the “Canta Forda” Ranch yesterday with a small package containing a Providence #21 copy. Wants me to install. So I oblige him. That old ‘95 is a user not a closet queen. So got him fixed up. That rifle has original dovetail type ramp, so higher front site installation was a breeze. Matter of fact, he already had a new sight in the dovetail. ![[Linked Image]](https://s5.postimg.cc/61toqi46v/141_A7_A09-_F9_F4-4_F51-8_B05-861_AF212_E7_F8.jpg) Ready now for Second Rifle come October!!

I was never aware that 30-06 loads were higher pressure than 30-03. Our family hunting rifle was a model 95 in 30-03 and it was always was fired with factory 30-06 ammo.
this went on over a period of at least 25 years and many dead deer and elk.
This was as factory as it could be. Long barrel, with a semi buck horn barrel sight.

Bob, that is certainly a nice rifle. Thanks for sharing.

https://i.imgur.com/tS2fCoT.jpgOne of these Texas Rangers was in on the demise of Bonnie and Clyde. What do you guys think of that barrel length?

swing that around inside a car pretty easy, but hard on your ears if you touched it off!
...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

It's got a carbine fore end but no saddle ring?
Barrels obviously been shortened.
Any input from the gurus??

Tricked out '95! Most likely removed the ring, they rattle and there's not much use for one in a vehicle. Barrel's been shortened (16"?) and appears to be an '03 banded front sight installed. Would be a handy carbine in tight quarters.

I saw that other day when Barry posted the article. I can’t really say, but it looks like after they shortened the bbl they installed a Springfield 1903 front sight on it. Ive seen that done on a lot of different guns. Also has one of the correct carbine rear sights. Can’t really see the buttstock so I too, looked for the saddle ring. Wonder of they just removed it and filled the hole? Who knows? Bit there were plenty of old smiths back in the say that would do all kinda of work for you here. Looks like the bbl is about 2" shorter than std carbine. Just a guess. Make it about 20" bbl. anyway an interestimg old carbine. Probaby rusting in someones closet right now.
My question is where are they?? That’s a granite monument behind them. I do not recognize it. Standing next to Hamer is W W Sterling. This might have been about the time he was adjudant general of Texas.
Also notice Hamer is holding a Model 8 and Sterling has what looks like 30/06 ctgs in his ammo belt. They don’t look like 30 Army.

Found a different photo; ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/jqvy9NSF/FADBB27-C-A429-4-FD0-BBE7-262-A3-DD40-D33.jpg) Looks like the buttstock is not really a carbine configuation. But cut and altered or added to. I can’t really tell. Maybe a shotgun butt?
