SOLD RUSSIAN WW1 WINCHESTER 1895 RUSSIAN MUSKET 7.62X54R NICE!

IN FINE CONDITINON WITH A REASONABLY GOOD BORE, WE HAVE A VERY HARD TO FIND RUSSIAN CONTRACT MODEL 1895 WINCHESTER MUSKET IN 7.62.54R. OF COURSE THE MUSKET DESIGNATION COMES FROM THE FACT THAT IT IS FULL STOCKED AND YOU CAN PUT A BAYONET ON IT. THESE RIFLES WERE MADE BY WINCHESTER FROM 1915 THROUGH 1917. THEY WERE ACUTALLY HEAVILY USED IN WW1 AND ESPECIALLY IN THE RUSSIAN CIVIL WAR. A LARGE NUMBER WERE SENT TO SPAIN AND FINALLY A FEW WERE USED AS LATE AS WW2. THIS PARTICULAR EXAMPLE IS MUCH MUCH NICER THAN YOU USUALLY SEE. MORE THAN LIKELY IT WAS PART OF THE UNDELIVERED CONTRACT OR POSSIBLY A WW1 BRINGBACK. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE RECIEVER DOES HAVE THE RUSSIAN ACCEPTANCE PROOF AND THE STOCK ANS SEVERAL OTHER PARTS HAVE RUSSIAN INPSECTION PROOFS ON THEM AS WELL. THE FORMER OWNER DID SHOOT THE RIFLE AND HE COMMENTED ON THE RECOIL BEING FAIRLY STRONG WHICH IS CAUSED BY THE STRAIGHT STOCK AND LIGHT WEIGHT. THESE RIFLES SELDOM ARE OFFERED FOR SALE AND WHEN THEY DO COME UP THEY ARE SPANISH CIVIL WARE GUNS THAT ARE IN VERY ROUGH CONDITION. THIS GUN WILL APPEAL TO BOTH THE RUSSIAN COLLECTOR AND THE WINCHESTER COLLECTOR. I DONT THINK IT WILL HANG AROUND FOR LONG SO DON’T WAIT IF YOU WANT TO ADD IT TO YOUR COLLECTION.
