My 1895 saddle ring carbine is ready
I can pick it up anytime. its sitting at a cabela's about 110 miles away. I will probably head up there after work on friday night.
If you want a look at it, go to cabela's web site , click on the gun library,
go to the top and search 1895. Its the one that says its in wheeling wv. And lists a 1999 price.
Gotta get dies and probably try it out with factory 180 grain RNs .
they have a decent program going.If I should decide I don't want it, all I have to do is pay the shipping charge from the WV store to the one where I will be picking it up ...tj3006

This is the only one I could find in Wheeling that matched the $
1895
Not sure if that's it or not.

Looks great! I have one just like it except it has the Lyman rear peep sight. That 30-40 Krag will give you a good shove in this model, but they are very accurate. I take mine deer hunting once a year. I take different old model Winchester lever each time I go out. It's fun, but it probably hurts my accuracy by taking different models; but I haven't came back without a deer each year anyway.

Here is mine in .30 army. (30/40). Mine dates 1931, right at end of production. It does not have the original rear sight. I had a friend put on a sight that the screw holes matched up so didnt butcher it. However I left the handguard off as it wont fit over this sight. I have dies and ammo. It shoots well. I bought it about 30 years ago.


I grabbed this little vintage 1924 .30-06 a couple of years back. Cost me $650. It has a perfect bore and mechanicals, but looks like a proper beater.I took the funky handguard off and stashed it, just in case.
