winchester 1895

[ranman50]

I have a model 1895 Winchester that reads "30 govt. 1906.", I believe this is a 30-06 but all the information I find on these usually reads "30 govt 06". Is this scroll work correct? I have enclosed 2 pictures of the rifle.
Thanks for any comments or information.

Yes it correct. Nice rifle.

That is a very nice '95 you have there.

Beautiful '95, .30 Govt... very cool.

Looks like a takedown model. Nice rifle!

Nice rifle!

And yes, it is chambered for what is known today as a 30-06 Springfield. In Europe the cartridge is known as the 7.62×63mm

The original name of the cartridge was "Ball Cartridge, Caliber .30, Model of 1906" which was later shortened to ".30 Govt 1906."

Yup, a .30/06, nice rifle. The 1895 Winchesters chambered in .30/40 Krag are marked .30 US.

Very nice rifle. One if the few lever rifles I truly like.

I have a similar one built in 1915, everytime I think of doing a custom lever build off it, i quickly return it to the cabinet as removing the history doesn't seem like the right thing to do.

I hope winchester makes these again and in 303 british would love one.
