OM VAPNET

The first Model 1895 was the first Winchester rifle to feature a box magazine that is located underneath the action instead of the tubular magazine design, which had remained fundamentally unchanged from the Winchester 1866. This allowed the rifle to safely chamber military and hunting cartridges with spitzer (pointed) bullets. The M1895 was also the last of the lever-action rifles to be designed by John Browning. The M1895 is the strongest lever-action rifle Winchester has produced, designed to handle the increased pressures generated by the more powerful smokeless powder cartridges entering common use at the time of its introduction.

Between 1915 and 1917 approximately 294,000 M1895's were manufactured for the airforce and police units of the Russian Empire, accounting for about 70% of total production of the rifles prior to 1932 when the M1895 was discontinued. Russia issued many of their Winchester Model 1895 rifles to troops from Finland and the Baltic states, especially the Latvian Riflemen. At least 9,000 Model 1895 rifles are known to have been provided by the Soviet Union in 1936 to the Spanish Republicans for use in the Spanish Civil War. Other nations adopted the rifle in more limited numbers. The United States ordered 10,000 in caliber .30-40 Krag for the Spanish–American War, but the war ended before they arrived at the front. Theodore Roosevelt personally purchased an M1895 Winchester in .30 Army (.30-40 Krag) in the late 1890s. Furthermore, the Model 1895 in both its rifle and carbine configuration was popular with the Texas Rangers and Arizona Rangers in both the .30-40 Krag and .30-06 Springfield calibers.
