[Sir Charles deMouton-Black]

I wondered what happened to these rifles. There is some indication that at least one of these rifles was used in the murder of the Tsar & family.

Does anyone else remember when "Fur, Fish, & Game" ran an ad in the '70's for '95 Winchester parts "by the pound"?  From what I remember, these were probably from Russian Winchesters, and it makes me wonder where they all went.  I'd like to think someone is sitting on them in a warehouse somewhere and doesn't know it.  It would be really cool to find them.

Somewhere, but who knows where?

Ned, if you could find about 15-20lb of those, you could buy a '95 with complete confidence that you could fix it when you inevitably break it!

Hey, I resemble that remark  

Breaking guns is a badge of honor...it means you use them...a lot.

Right? That's what I keep telling myself anyway.

     I enjoy the work Ian does, bringing these obscure designs to life. Maybe Col. Drydock is having aspirations of sending them his original 1895 Winchester Musket so Karl can do his wheelbarrow/wet gravel/shovel/shooting test-that would be a hoot wouldn't it!



   That Japanese Winchester 1895 they came out with was good quality. But the tang safety made my teeth hurt!
