This si a 1916 Winchester 1895 Musket / Russianicon Contract Rifle, one of approx. 300,000 rifles Winchester delivered to the Czar between 1915-1916. This rifle was latter shipped to Spain during the SCW for use by the Republican Forces and has the Spanish MP8 flaming bomb Cartouche stamped on the buttstock.

The bluing is about 20% and the bore is dark but has good rifling. The butt stock has a spliced repair and what appears to be a rack number ( 10 ) stamped on it. The hand guard appears to be a replacement but by who or when is unknown. The action is crisp and it cycles dummy rounds nicely though I am still debating on how much range time, if any it will be receiving.[/b][/i][/color]
