Why no 1895 thread?

We simply MUST have a 95 forum. I got a pile of them.

What are the SASS rules on cut off date? Isn't it 1898? If that's the case I see no problem. Not that I ever intend to shoot SASS again....too many rules and the targets are too close.

I've told this before but my club is ECSASS, we shoot in Dare Co. Chance is the prez and stage creator. We shoot our rifles at a far enough distance that you have to aim. A group of shooters came down from Va to play with us but complained that the rifle targets were too far. Mike said no problem, next month they were a little closer but smaller. Loved it.

Many years ago I rescued a '95 rifle from the abandoned guns bin at the local shop. Turned out to be 1903 vintage in 30-40 and a bit tired. Took a month to get all the jacket fouling out of the barrel. It's still picky about loads, but what a sweet rifle! They were a favorite on the SW border around the turn of the 20th century

I have a Winchester Miroku made 1895 carbine and love it
