Re: New Winchester Book On 1895 Lever Actions
Glad to hear your book arrived safe and sound. Rob and I wanted to have this book printed in the USA, and we were fortunate to find very competitive printing and binding here, and they did an excellent job. Part of the project also included having a box made to spec for shipping the book. It sounds ...

Re: New Winchester Book On 1895 Lever Actions
I look forward to the book, especially any pix or text on military use of the '95. Found an interesting picture of a Mexican rebel firing a '95 Musket at Mexican Federal troops in Mexicali during the Magonista Rebellion in 1911 ("won the battle, lost the war"). Probably a .30-40 but who k...

Re: New Winchester Book On 1895 Lever Actions
Thanks guys, glad you like the book! Rimfire McNut: I used to own one of the 35 WCF rifles pictured in the book. I enjoyed shooting the rifle but it didn't have an aperture sight, and I do better with one of those. Good luck in your search. A great cartridge for sure. Sometimes underappreciated but ...

Re: New Winchester Book On 1895 Lever Actions
Thanks again guys. I've actually been loading .30-40 a lot over the last few years too and hunt with a '95 TD Sporting Rifle made in 1910. The Model 1895 cartridges are very interesting and the book has a lengthy cartridge chapter with original WRACo drawings, documents and history for every standar...

Re: New Winchester Book On 1895 Lever Actions
That looks like big medicine. A very successful hunter encouraged me to try .30-220 Woodleigh soft nose bullets a few years ago and they have also been very good so far.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
