When I picked this up last year, I thought it would keep me out of trouble for a while and make a good foul weather deer/pig gun. The barrel was cut down to 18 inches. The bore is dark but the rifling is still sharp enough that I'll probably keep the barrel and just replace the bent front sight.
The saddle ring staple was cut off instead of just unscrewing it and I can't get a good grip on the stub to unscrew it.
Do you guys have any ideas on getting it out?
The hammer spur has been broken off and rewelded. It works for now, but I'm looking for a replacement. There was one that just went on the bay for $277. Is that kind of high for a 95 hammer?
Cartridges feed fine, but the cartridge lifter veers off to one side. I haven't handled any other 95s, is that normal?
I don't see Ugly.. I see "Shoot Me"... or "rebuild me"...
I wish I had one of them to rebuild into 54R...

Walker,
No problem, that stud shank should be soft and give you no problem.
But I will pass on some good advice from an old plumber, soak it real good with Kroil, penetrating oil and then try it.
If it gives ANY resistance soak it some more, keep soaking it untill it comes free.
The only thing you have lost soaking it is time.
Force it............ and horrid mischief will ensue.
Yup, It's shoots the 30-40 220gr about a foot high at 25 yards and maybe 5 inches to the left (that bent front sight). I've got William's front sight riser blocks (.250 and .340 heights) on hand and Kroil + the JB non-embedding on the way to the house.
Looks alot like mine, she ain't the prettiest girl at the dance, but she sure don't disappoint! Gotta love the old Winchesters! What year was she made?

Made in 1915. Wondered what on earth she'd been through to have the hammer spur broken off and the stock repaired with studs when I saw her. The amazing thing is how nice the trigger is.
It just has the dignity and character that only time and use can give it.You will never find that on a new gun.It has been there ,done that and is waiting for more.Enjoy.

looks like she was in the midst of bad company...but now she'll get some respect... :)
First there was coyote ugly then there was Pontiac ugly, now there is Mosberg ugly! That 95 shows character, like my 30 year old F150 with 308,000 miles, matter of fact it would look right at home in the rear window.
Ain't nothin the matter with yo '95. New higher front sight, a little stock oil and steel wool the metal to even it out some ( not remove any blue ) Maybe replace a few screws and she will be good for another hundred years.-------Sixgun

When I left home back in 89 (Bixby, OK) you could have them in your rack everywhere but the county parks. On recent visits you don't see them in rear windows anymore. Miss those days.
Well one nice thing about that Mossberg is you won't fell bad about losing it in the woods,using it as a ply bar,spray painting it,loaning to the bil or mil,giving it as a white elephant gift,using it to hold the toilet paper when nature calls,a fire poker(unloaded )................
