Just wondering what this firearm is worth, don't now much about them?
Model 1895 30US value?

Your 1895 is not particularly valuable. It doesn't seem to be in bad shape metal wise but the butt stock has been sanded and the forend is a complete homemade replacement. It is chambered in .30/40 Krag, the U.S. service rifle chambering in the 1890's. Plus the 1895 doesn't have the collector interest that exists for the 1873,1886,1894 etc. Basically it is a shooter, value around $400 in my area anyway. If you could scrounge up an original forend and it was a decent colour match for the butt, value would go up to around $650. My 2 cents.

Same goes out here on the left coast. Nice "old shooter" if the barrel is decent which many are not. (My 2 cents also so 4 cents makes a nickel right?)

what happened to your carpet?
My wife asked the same question looking over my shoulder at what I was doing! Saw the pic and that was her first response, typical, no comment on the rifle.

Actually, it is just my shadow from the overhead light. You can see the pics from the other side are fine.
