Can he do .35 WCF? Your bolt face would work for it as well as the .405. Youโd really need to send him a 30/06 if you wanted the Whelen.
Brass for both the .35 & .405 have gotten scarce here recently. 30/40 brass will work for .35 itโs just a tad short. But full length correct .35 brass can be made from .405 when you can find it. I know Bartram still making brass but heard bad things about them. Too bad Jamesons quit making brass.

I purchased my first 1895 in the late 70's at the old Bagnel Dam show at Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri, it was a pristine .30-40. Over the years I have owned another .30-40, a SRC most of the '95s since then have been .30-06. The prize was an R.F. Sedgely custom stocked SRC, it has deluxe checkered wood with M/ 70 style buttplate, buffalo horn forend tip and Super Grade style swivels. Sedgley even machined a Lyman 48 receiver sight to fit, front sight was a Lyman banded ramp with ivory bead. The most recent rifle was a solid fame .30-06 to which I added a climbin Lyman, it got sold to help finance a hunt.

Of course they all have to be saddle ring carbines! I'd need to stock up on .405 brass, I've got a good supply of .30-40 and I should be set for life on .30-06 so I have plenty to reform.

I've never seen one in my research so I doubt it's something the factory ever did but what a hammer of a saddle gun!

Hawk reek,
Is there enough steel in the barrel of those 30/40โs to bore em out to .405?

Well now I need ANOTHER new 1895 for a project gun. 19 or 20" barrel, about a .35 caliber... hmmm With 20 inch barrel and 13" length of pull, they are shorter than even short action bolt-rifles. Theres no rear bridge adding length. 38.25 inches is what my scout rifle measures. A scoped 1895 launching 41 caliber 350 grain swift A-frames at 2350 fps, the range and power is in a different league than any other levergun. Theres no space in my dog sled for a bolt action carbine. It would over hang and certainly take damage from a tree or from tipping sled: https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/topics/13233780/2

Looks like they used a piece of bolt off the "other" 1895 Winchester on that flatside.

Great looking gun & deer, I've always liked the lever actions.
