@@L0stEngineerIt isn't the same without the stripper clip guide, full wood and bayonet mount. Besides, 7.62x54r is probably cheaper than 30-30: whether newly manufactured S&B or PPU, or those with access to steel-cased Chinese surplus. Cheers!
I worked in a gunshop some years ago and saw a very few of these pass through; quite heavy rifles for their size but the actions were as smooth as butter.
many rifles like this are intentionally heavy to cut down on recoil, or atleast on the gun moving around from it. like a .303 Enfield. short and still easy to maneuver but heavy enough to have very little recoil(and even still in use today under extreme conditions where other rifles would fail much more reliably)
@@Dime_time333 Aye, I've got a good one of those. Really fun to shoot, for sure. Same ammo as my AK, so I can order in bulk more easily for the pair of them, and stupid easy to maintain. Still, I'd trade the pair of them for one of these 1895s if I could find one.
@@NoobsofFredo If you ever decide you don't really need the provenance, I highly suggest looking into the Savage 1899. IMO it's better looking anyway, but I'm also biased just because it's so unusual.
They wouldn't be able to add the Russian contract because it's anochronastic of the time period. Though they added the trench gun into the game so it may still happen

I went to the Korean War Museum when I was stationed in South Korea in 2017. The saddest thing I saw was one of these in an obrez pistol format.

Ian, you need to use your influence to have Winchester or one of the Italian companies produce an 1895 Russian musket version like you show here…the originals are almost impossible to find and too expensive to buy. Great vid!
That would require an excessive amount of tooling up for a novelty build. Also, Winchester isn't the same company it used to be and they don't make these in any kind of quantity year-to-year.
There's a saying about the rifles in WW1. The Brits bring battle rifles, The Americans bring target rifles, The Germans bring hunting rifles, and The Russian bring a rifle
Love shooting mine. But I'd still take a m91 over the 1895 Winchester if I were in war . Super cool rifles. Prone or rested shooting and loading is rough.
Very cool and versatile rifle for sure’ it’s a shame that no one is making decent copies of these today’ would make for one fine hunting rifle for sure
I've got to say, I still can't believe I somehow managed to snag one of these. I had long resigned to the idea that it would always just be a dream, but then I got lucky. I still haven't shot it yet, as it needs some stabilization work done on the stock. It would split at the receiver tangs if I shot it right now, but even just having it is far better than I thought I'd do. At least I have a repro .30-40 saddle ring carbine that I can shoot without worrying until I get the old musket fixed up.

Wish this would see more representation in media, from whatbi understand thwres loads of them in finland rhat have been sporterized so its relitvely feasible to find one in the wild
