Army fighting in the "Great war" have a number in the meantime, not quite the usual weapons, but the standard armament remained the repeating rifle. This is before the war produced several systems that were introduced in the armies of several states. The fight at the front but they use not only men but also their armament, and so the fights get even weapons that originally as a military, or intended not. One such weapon was the rifle a Winchester 1895. At the time when the showed that domestic plants are not enough to supply an army commissioned by the tsarist Russia in the number of about 300 000 units, the revolution was delivered to 293 000 and you get into the equipment i need to Czechoslovak legions.
Rifle Winchester 1895 developed the famous designer John Moses Browning as a hunting rifle, that would be able to safely use powerful ammunition, unsuitable for earlier single-lever Winchester. Of about 426 thousands of M1895 rifles, it was made by Winchester between 1895 and 1931, about 300 thousands were made on Russian military contract between 1915 and 1917. A smaller number of rifles Winchester 1895, komorovaných for a charge of .30-40 Krag was the US Army in the years 1897 - 98 and were used during the Spanish-american war. Others were made in calibre .303 British and .30-06 Springfield, but have not been used by the military, but the shooting associations. For hunting purposes was a rifle produced in a number of calibers such as .35 Winchester and .405 Winchester, but others as well.
Compared to contemporary military rifles, rifles Winchester M1895 were a bit faster in the shooting, thanks to the leverage system of charging, but were more sensitive to pollution than the Mosin M1891 or Mauser 1898, and the lever of charging was less suitable for shooting lying down, typical for the war of the XX century.
Rifles for Russia have also been equipped with a special groove allowing the use of ammunition tape from repeating rifles the Mosin and the faster the charging. Besides the Russian model to all the other charged after the one hub.
The Winchester M1895 is a repeat with the bottom lever behind the trigger guard, which the shooter controls the three fingers of the hand that controls the trigger. Rifle has a cartridge box for 5 rounds in a row one above the other positioned in front of the trigger guard out from the top when the open concludes. Horizontally scrollable conclusion, it is locked into the receiver by the vertically sliding member, moving in the grooves of the receiver. The movement of conclusion is controlled by the lever which is associated with the trigger guard and is attached to the cartridge box. Move down to the conclusion of the unlocks and moves rearward, while at the same time the fired bullet from the barrel upwards, by moving the lever back up is inserted another bullet, and the conclusion is locked. An interesting element of the design of the rifle M1895 is that the trigger is disconnected from the internal mechanism of the gun during the charging cycle, this is a safety feature to prevent accidental discharge before sailing the charging lever and lock the breech. The rifle has an external tap which performs the addition of percussion and another, visual inspection of the condition of the weapons.
Military rifles should stock without pistol grip and with the long forend, were also equipped with a mount for a bayonet. Civilian weapons have been supplied with various kinds of pažeb and, of course, in different rážích. All military rifles, and most of the civilian should have open sights consisting of a sliding visor and aim without protectors. Military weapons should be mainly in lengths of 28 or 30 inches, the hunting is produced with the main from 22 to 36 inches.
The rifle is not known not so much as a weapon of the military though approximately 2/3 of the produced ended up in the army, but more like gun hunting. As such her famous Former president Theodore Roosevelt who used it in several copies in your safari in the years 1909 to 1910 in Africa to hunt elephants, buffaloes and lions. Used with his son Kermit at least 4 pieces of the Model 1895 in caliber .405 (3 pieces) and the .30-40 Krag. T. Roosevelt called his rifle "Big medicine" and because of the safari was a lot reported in the press popularised the gun among the hunters. Company Winchester added how weapons ammunition and apparently to her this marketinkový move paid off. Rifles model 1895 was also very popular among law enforcement officers. Texas Rangers, Pinkerton Agents, members of the U.With. The Border Patrol and local sheriffs are often left to take pictures with her.
Model 1895 he had the reputation of "kopavé" rifles, this was due to the fact that it was a relatively light weapon to powerful bullets, but also by the buttplate of the stock was small and poorly curved (heritage of the older models). This combination caused a large re-the character of the executive the hub felt the shooter very clearly.
After the crash of 1929 and the subsequent economic crisis, the sale of sporting rifles, especially the more expensive models, as the model 1895, has decreased significantly. Also, the taste of american hunters varied, the Model 1895 had to face the fierce competition of weapons derived from the rifles of the Mauser, including a very cheap rifles Springfield M-1903 originating from the surpluses of the army and also own a rifle Winchester model 54, therefore, was the production in 1931 terminated. In recent years, produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms limited amount of rifles and carbines M 1895. Mainly in caliber .405 Win, .30-06 and. In 2008 Winchester produced a pair of "Theodore Roosevelt commemorative rifles" and other pairs in 2009 as a comment on Roosevelt's african safari in the years after the end of its function. But there is a downright collector's weapons that were not intended for general sale.
