Really neat rifle!

...Why did the military ever switch to 5-round bolt actions...

"Born in 1894"

I wonder what State Militia or ? had these at that late date.

Does Winchester do "Letters" like S&W does?

Probably something on the internet telling what agency ordered these during that time.

Really Interesting Rifle...

A bunch of them were bought by a South American military in the early 1900s, and then were found in a warehouse unused in the 1950s and then returned to the US in nearly new condition. This is NOT one of those. This one has its own history to tell.

It is old enough to get a Cody letter.
You could special order about anything from Winchester.
Please tell me the bore is a sewer pipe so I won't like it so much.

Bore is a bit dark, and there's a little pitting, but can still see sharp rifling in there. The rifle is 127 years old, that's almost as old as Shrapnel.

It’d be a shame to mess with that gun, looks perfect just as it is.

3 rd variation, approximately between serial # 90,000-720,610.

The first Variation is extremely rare at approximately 500 mfg.

Not sure production numbers for 2nd. and 3rd variations.

Some went to the Canadian RCMP.
