Congrats! A seldom seen feature on those carbines and in fine condition! I have a few 95s myself, only 1 carbine, a standard 1920 30-06

[Sixgun]

That’s a nice Winchester…..very nice with loads of condition…..rarely seen with a special order option. You’re lucky to have that variation make it into a letter. Nice snag….4 big ones?—-6

Thanks Sixgun..they had it listed at 5500..I got it for one Benjamin over 4..Rarely seen is right!

Thanks for the comeback……as you know, carbines with any variation or special order is extremely rare, not to mention about 90% of carbines are usually beat…..If I saw that rifle I would have swore someone took off the handguard but there’s usually a difference in the blue where the guard used to be……but the letter on your prove otherwise.

I’ve been at this game for 50 years ….right out of h.s…..it’s a disease, these old Winchesters and I might add single action Colts, Marlins, pre war n frame smiths, early Rugers……:D…..better than any 401 K plan.

I have an 1886 SRC that has a shotgun butt and I know it came with the gun from the factory….the gun has plenty of condition, forend and buttstock match and the condition is equal all over the rifle but it didn’t letter with a shotgun butt…….I called the Cody historian and she got the ledgers up on the computer and told me there was a 50 Express right above mine that has a shotgun butt. She said she saw many instances of mistakes like that as in those days they were more concerned with making money than they were about future collectors like us.

Oh well..the beat goes on.

Here’s the best of my ‘95’s…..an ‘06 takedown with a model 21 Lyman……have a pair of 30-40’s that are 80 percenters and something else I don’t even remember …..—-6

Wait, that’s one of the Krags….thought I had a pic of the ‘06…gotta look….


Here it is. Just needs a box and a hang tag….

YES! ..I have a takedown in 06..with the Lyman...S&W is Well represented here ..couple Colts and the Ole Garand ..one a Winchester ..Im a fan of the M14 ..building one now..another one it is a disease ..a fun one ..goes with my Antique tractors and Hot rods

[Sixgun]

OK……we all agree and disagree. I LOVE the old guns and Winchester, Marlin, Colt, Smith and some early Remingtons and Rugers……I mostly focus on old SA Colts and pre ww1 Winchesters…

That’s where we agree…….old tractors…love them, along with the old cars…hot rods?…30-50’s ?

But the old cars and such are a rich man’s game…..I sunk a years pay (over time) into a ‘68 Firebird with a John Delorean designed OHC 6 cyl. with a four barrel carb…….and when it got sold, I didn’t reap much of a profit…..in fact it was a 100% total loss…..(long story).. …..on tractors, there’s lots of them around here sitting in barns and behind barns and even in some peoples kitchens. (Up in Maine.) (that’s for my buddy Jay….”Old Win”.

Yea…..seems like like minded people are spread out all over the U.S. of A….must be for a reason…..—-6

[snkbittin]

Sixgun..yes theres lots of similer likes when it comes to firearms of all types..The antique tractors here are a 1927 Fordson F ..1941 Ford 9N ..1958 John Deere 420W and a 1959 John Deere 430C..a crawler..always wanted one I use the term Hot rod a lil loosely ..I had a Cobra roadster that I built and had 22 yrs ..sold it last Aug.. I still have a 2014 Shelby GT500...Factory 662HP 631 ftlbs torque..stock..welllll she got a bit more than that now! and Im a model RR ..i have a 12 x 16 O scale RR that always has something to do along with all the gun stuff..reloading and such ..I gotta slow down some

[Sixgun]

No, you don’t have to slow down……..you only get one chance…….you’ll have eternity to “slow down” when your in the dirt….. All through my life I took advantage to “upgrade” myself whenever the chance presented itself…….

You reap what you sow and you’re sowing well. ——6. At 68 I feel myself getting tired more easily so I guess at some point in our lives we are forced to slow down…but until then….party on dudes!!!!
