It isn't a 'Red Rider' but it is just as cool.






Can't wait to get this one.

Winchester 1895. Sold to the Russians like Nagants made by Remington And New England Westinghouse at the start of WWI. Great Christmas present. You must have been a good little boy last year.

Between 1915 and 1917 approximately 300,000 M1895's were manufactured for the army of Russian Empire, accounting for about 70% of total production of the rifles prior to 1936 when the M1895 was discontinued.

Yes Robert but this one was shipped to Spain by the Russians in 1936-37 for use in the Spanish Civil War as noted by the MP8 cartouche.

They're a great rifle, you'll certainly enjoy it; I once fired 5 effective shots in 4 and a 1/2 seconds from a .303 version.
This was on a military range at a standard figure target.
