Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 1895 was John M. Browning’s final lever-action design for Winchester and departed from the company’s traditional tubular-magazine rifles by using a fixed box magazine capable of safely handling pointed bullets. The design saw both sporting and military use and was offered in several powerful cartridges, including the .30-40 Krag. This modern Miroku-built example preserves the distinctive lines and robust action of the original while adding contemporary safety features and modern manufacturing quality.

This rifle remains in Excellent condition, retaining approximately 98% of its original blue finish with only light scratches, handling marks, and minor operational wear. The checkered walnut stocks are likewise Excellent, showing sharp checkering, a few small scuffs, and light compression marks concentrated around the wrist, with no chips or cracks. The bore is bright with sharp rifling, no erosion, and only light fouling, earning a 9.75/10 rating. Mechanically, the action functions correctly, the rebounding hammer and tang safety operate as intended, and the trigger is crisp. The added Williams receiver sight and sling studs improve practical field use, while the included box adds further collector appeal.
