HISTORY: Winchester’s Model 1895 Rifle & Carbine was John Browning’s last and strongest lever-action design. It was also Winchester’s first to incorporate a box-type magazine compatible with pointed bullets. Introduced in 1895, it served in at least nine wars. Slightly more than 425,000 were made before the model was officially discontinued in 1936. A few more were made by special order until 1940. Although chambered in 10 different cartridges, vintage Model 1895s are most commonly encountered in the United States in .30-40 Krag. (also known as .30 U.S. or .30 Army). The rifle is most commonly associated today with former President Theodore Roosevelt, who took two M1895 rifles with him on his 1909 safari to East Africa, famously referring to them as his "'medicine guns for lions".
