John Browning Patent 549345 – Winchester Model 1895

This patent would become the Winchester Model 1895.
The Model 1895 was another one of John Moses Browning’s lever action repeating rifle designs. This particular one had a non detachable box magazine.
This design is absolutely beautiful and was offered in numerous calibers, including:
– .30-40 Krag (30 Army / 30 U.S.)
– .38-72 & .40-72 & .35 & .405 W.C.F.
– .303 British
– 7.62 Russian
– .30-03 & .30-06 Springfield
The Model 1895 is one of my favorite lever action designs.
It would also be the final John Browning design that Winchester produced.
This design was granted US Patent 549345 on November 5th, 1895. John Browning had applied for this patent on November 19th, 1894.
