Hi; I just located a Model 1895 lever action 30-30, and can't find any info on it on the net. Would appreciate any info on this rifle. Thanks. RobD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif" alt="" />

The original Model 1895 was not made in .30-30. I can't tell you more without details.

I should be getting a pic of it tomorrow...if the info I received is accurate...the seller says it's a 30-30...I havent verified that yet...maybe he is wrong, that why I can't find any info on the net...if he is correct, then this could be a rare item...

Rare indeed... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />...re-bbl'ed maybe.Proceed w/caution my friend! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
When it comes to choosing friends....I'm at an age where I'd rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.

It's pretty simple Rob, if the rifle in question has a serial number under 8200 it's an 1895, if it's over it's an 1899. If it's under 8200 it's been rebarreled or the guy screwed up and typed in an extra 0 and it is an actual 303 Savage. A picture would tell it all for sure. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yes, this is what I am thinking (that he added an extra "zero" and it is a typo...anyway, I should find out today and will keep all posted. Thanks for replies and insight. RobD <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

To clear up the mystery...the owner misread the model number, it turns out it is an 1899, 30-30, ...so that clers that up.
Thanks guys
