    hello,
    I have been lurking your forum for some time and finely got the courage to register and have a question on one of my Winchester rifles as to it's value.

    I had purchased all my rifles between the ages of 15 and 19 then got married had children and the collection came to a halt and now at the age of 71 I am thinking maybe to sell them.

    This is a Winchester 1895 30 us the ser# is very low if need be I can get it out and check it. I have attached a pic.

    Can I shoot of the shelf 30.06 ammo through my 1895? Say remmington green box, or regular Federal, etc. It's a take down model and old.Serial number is 78xxx, on the barrel is .30 gov't.06.
    Do you have any idea of value/ rarity. Thanks, for your help in advance, John. I'll try to post some pictures.

    win95-1.jpgwin95-3.jpgwin95-2.jpg I recently picked up this 1895 Winchester in northern Maine. It is in 30-40 krag and appears to be all original. Any clue as to how odd this gun is and what is it worth ? Emery

    I've been waiting for Winchester to release them for two years. As far as I know, no one knows IF or WHEN they will hit the street.

    Not sure, however my neighbor has two that date to early 1900's are are in amazing shape he brought them over the other day to try some of his loads and I must say they are a blast to shoot. Recoil was nothing what I expected for the caliber.
