anyone have a idea, what a win 1895 in 405 win. and a 1895 303 carbine, with elevating rear sight. are worth? 405 is a fixed barrel, both in good-cond. will have pics soon

Don't need pics....405 is garbage-send it to me and I will dispose of it for you.

Leroy's right, if he doesn't want the .405, I'll take it!! Seriously though, it's tough without pictures, the .303 in good shape, with factory Lyman side mounted sight...$1000 or more, the .405(and this is a real stab) add from 500 to double, mind you, I've never had one go through the shop so i could be off on the .405. One thing is certain...there would be double the interest in the .405 then the .303 as it was Teddy's favourite.

I bought one of the reproduction M-1895 .405's from Cabelas in the USA. I paid $1700 and then several hundreds more for red tape. I think it ended up around $2400 by the time I had it in my hands.

Remember when they were listed in WSS catalogue (about 10 years ago)? Those things sold out immediately. I wanted one immediately but didn't get one so when I stumbled onto the opportunity to acquire one (even if it is a reproduction), I was all over it!

I coulda bought half a dozen M-700's for what I paid for that one rifle, but who cares about money if it's the rifle that you really want?

One of the original .405's would be junk though. The previous poster was correct, dispose of it... PM me and I can do that for you!

. . . . . . . rifle or not, that 405 Win is one interesting cartridge! I've got one in a Ruger #1 and LOVE it! Hit's like a real hammer . . . . . . and ACCURATE!
