they r nice. just sold a remington model 31 t/c on gb. that was a nice trap gun also. sold for my son. gave it to him2 years ago. just have my 90-t left for trap. Beretta 303 also. forgot that one.
Wish I had kept all the old lever action Winchesters that we used to buy, sell and trade. As a young teenager, I recall that old Winchesters were plentiful and were dirt cheap in the late 50's and early 60's. Many were valued at $20-$30. Good bit of money back then but still managed to let quite a few slip out of my hands. One in particular was an 1892 saddle ring carbine. I think it was a 25-20. Traded it for something, don't even remember what. 30-30's were everywhere and nobody seemed to value them because more powerful rifles were beginning to become the norm in our part of Florida. I only have 3 lever action Winchesters now, a 94, 30-30 mfg in the 50's, an 1895, 30-40(30 Gov't) carbine with a replaced stock and an 1892 rifle, 32-20, 24" octagon bbl. Here is a picture of the 32-20. It was mfg. in 1911 and was refurbished at the Winchester factory in the 1950's. Treefarmer

Now you're speaking my language... Very nice 1892!!! Post some pics of the 1895 sir. The younger generation, under 30 yrs old (I'm 43 yrs old) doesn't and for whatever reason can't appreciate good quality firearms, most gun shops today can't either. Most of them don't even know what to look for nor are they interested in finding treasure. It's really too bad and very sad..
nice looking rifle. WANNA' TRADE???? lol
M12Gunboy, Here are a few pics of the old 1895. The date of mfg. is supposed to be 1898 based on a serial # search. As stated before it has a replacement butt stock, forend is original, no bluing and the rear sight was not original. The 30 US or 30 Govt. round is the same as the 30-40 Krag. The 1895's were chambered for several other rounds including 30-06. Traded a Win. 24 16ga. for this one and almost have regrets! Treefarmer
