ApproximatelyModel s were made from until A departure from their previous offerings — both functionally and visually — the Model was the first Winchester rifle to incorporate a box magazine below the action. All previous models utilized a tubular magazine in which cartridges were loaded tip-to-primer. This was fine with earlier cartridges that had flat or round-nosed bullets. The Modelhowever, was designed to accept high-powdered spitzer cartridges which had pointed-nose bullets. Loading pointed bullets tip-to-primer increased the potential of an accidental primer detonation. By incorporating a box magazine, the cartridges could be stacked horizontally on top of one another, eliminating the risk of any contact with the primer. Happy collecting! All rights reserved.

Winchester Lever-Action | Cheaper Than Dirt Winchester rifle is a comprehensive term describing a series of lever-action repeating rifles manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Winchester Lever-Action Rifles Company. Developed from the Henry rifleWinchester rifles were among the earliest repeaters. InWalter Hunt of New York patented his "Volition Repeating Rifle" incorporating a tubular magazine, which was operated by two levers and complex linkages. The Hunt rifle fired what he called the " Rocket Ball ", an early form of caseless ammunition in which the powder charge was contained in the bullet's hollow base. Smith made several improvements to the Jennings design, and in Smith and Wesson together with several investors formed a corporation, the Volcanic Repeating Arms Companyto manufacture Smith's modification of the Hunt-Jennings, the Volcanic lever-action pistol and rifle. Its largest stockholder was Oliver Winchester. For the Volcanic rifle, Smith added a primer charge to Hunt's "Rocket Ball" and thus created Winchester Lever-Action Rifles of the first fixed metallic cartridges which incorporated bullet, primer and powder in one self-contained unit. While still with the company Smith went a step further and added a cylindrical copper case to hold the bullet and powder with the primer in the case rim, thus creating one of the most significant Winchester Lever-Action Rifles in firearms history, the metallic rimfire cartridge. The Volcanic rifle had only limited success, which was partially attributable to the design and poor performance of the Hunt-derived Volcanic cartridge: a hollow conical ball filled with black powder and sealed by a cork primer. Although the Volcanic's repeater design far outpaced the rival technology, the unsatisfactory power and reliability of the. Volcanic moved to New Haven inbut by the end of that year became insolvent. Oliver Winchester purchased Winchester Lever-Action Rifles bankrupt firm's assets from the Winchester Lever-Action Rifles stockholders, and reorganized it as the New Haven Arms Company in April Benjamin Henry continued to work with Smith's cartridge concept, and perfected the much larger, more powerful. Henry also supervised the redesign of the rifle to use the new ammunition, retaining only the general form of the breech mechanism and the tubular magazine. This became the Henry rifle ofwhich was manufactured by the New Haven Arms Company, and used in considerable numbers by certain Union army units in the American Civil War. Confederates called the Henry "that damned Yankee rifle that they load on Sunday and shoot all week! The company modified and improved the basic design of the Henry rifle, creating the first Winchester rifle: the Model It retained the. In Winchester introduced the steel-framed Model chambering the more potent. Inin a bid to compete with the powerful single-shot rifles of the time, Winchester brought out the Model Centennial Model. While it chambered more powerful Winchester Lever-Action Rifles than the and models, the toggle link action was not strong enough for the popular high-powered rounds used in Sharps or Remington single-shot rifles. The first Winchester rifle — the Winchester Model — was originally chambered for the rimfire. Nelson King's improved patent remedied flaws in the Henry rifle by incorporating a loading gate on the side of the frame and integrating a round, sealed magazine which was partially covered by a forestock. France purchased 6, Model rifles along with 4. The Ottoman Empire purchased 45, Model rifles and 5, carbines in and Winchester Lever-Action Rifles These rifles were used in the Russo-Turkish Winchester Lever-Action Riflescausing much surprise when outnumbered Winchester Lever- Action Rifles at the Siege of Plevna inflicted many times more casualties than their opponents armed with single-shot Krnka and Berdan rifles. The Swiss Army initially selected the Model to replace their existing single-shot Milbank-Amsler rifles. However, ensuing political pressure to adopt a domestic design resulted in the Vetterli Modela bolt-action design utilizing a copy of the Winchester's tubular magazine, being adopted instead. Due to public demand, the Model continued to be manufactured and sold untilmainly because they were less expensive than the later steel-framed centerfire models. Still an icon in the modern day, it was manufactured between and It was originally chambered for the. The was later produced in. Musket was a term that, at the time, denoted a full length military-style stock, not to be confused with a true smoothbore musket. The standard rifle-length version was most popular in the 19th century, although Winchester would make rifles Winchester Lever-Action Rifles order in any configuration the customer wished, including longer barrels or baby carbines with barrels as short as 12 inches, octagonal-shaped barrels, colour case hardened receivers and fancy engraving. The original Model was never offered in the military revolver. To both celebrate and enhance the Model 's prestige, Winchester established a coveted "One of One Thousand" grade in Barrels producing unusually small groupings during Winchester Lever-Action Rifles were fitted to rifles with set triggers and a special finish. Promotions included a search for "One of One Thousand" rifles by Universal Studioswith advertisements in sporting magazines and posters in sporting goods stores. In all, overModel s were produced up until Nearly faithful in design to the original, including the trigger disconnect safety, sliding dustcover, and a crescent-shaped buttplateit incorporates two safety Winchester Lever-Action Rifles a firing pin block preventing it from moving forward Winchester Lever-Action Rifles the trigger is pulled, and a Winchester Lever-Action Rifles carrier modification to eject used casings away from the shooter. Ina weathered model was found leaning against a tree in Great Basin National Park. It became known as the Forgotten Winchester and sparked media interest because of the mystery about who left it there and why Winchester Lever-Action Rifles never came back for it. The Winchester Modelor Centennial Modelwas a heavier-framed rifle than the Models andchambered for full-powered centerfire rifle cartridges suitable for big-game huntingrather than the handgun-sized rimfire and centerfire rounds of its predecessors. Introduced to celebrate the American Centennial Expositionthe Model earned a reputation as a durable and powerful hunting rifle.

    A Basic Firearm Tutorial By John Kraemer, F-ABMDI April 2009 Statistics for Firearm-Related Deaths According to a 2005 study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there were almost 31, 000 firearm‐related deaths within the United States. Of the 31, 000 deaths, 55% of those deaths were certified as suicides, 40% certified as homicides, 3% certified as accidents, and the remaining 2% were certified as undetermined. A previous study by the CDC covering the years 1993 to 1998 also found that most firearm‐related deaths were again caused by self‐inflicted acts and men and individuals between the ages of 15 and 34 comprised a majority of those firearm‐related deaths. Every medical examiner or coroner’s office across the country has investigated a firearm‐ related death. Depending on your jurisdiction, these types of deaths may comprise a large portion of your caseload or a small portion. Regardless of the number of firearm‐related deaths your office investigates, every medicolegal death investigator must be knowledgeable in the safe handling of firearms, basic ballistics terminology and the parts of a particular firearm, whether it be a semi‐automatic handgun, revolver, shotgun or rifle. General Safety Practices The safe approach to and subsequent handling of firearms is your personal responsibility. Safety is the number one priority when handling such weapons. At any death scene involving a firearm, the death investigator MUST ALWAYS ASSUME THE FIREARM IS LOADED! Most accidental discharges of a firearm are the result of not following safe gun handling practices and failure to use common sense.

  • Winchester Firearms Exports to France in World War I
    ASAC_Vol106_04-Carrick_120012.qxd 2/2/13 2:49 PM Page 19 Winchester Firearms Exports to France in World War I By Michael F. Carrick It is a little-known fact that the Winchester Arms Company supplied 15,100 Model 1894 .30-30 carbines to the French Army in 1914. 1 They also supplied a significant num- ber of models 1907 and 1910 to the French Aeronautics Division and a quantity of Model 1903 .22 W.A.R. semiauto- matic rifles for training (Figure 1). In this article, I discuss the contract for the Model 1894 carbines and leave the others for another time. Perhaps one of the reasons that we do not see too much about this sale of 15,100 carbines and 15.1 million rounds of full metal jacket cartridges2 to France is that Winchester actually sold the lot to the Remington Arms Company. The contract was dated September 22, 1914. Sifting through Winchester factory records in the McCracken Research Library in Cody, Wyoming, for this transaction, I finally found the record of sales to the Remington Arms Company. I believe that Remington must have had an exclusive contract to supply arms and ammunition to the Government of France. Figure 1. The Winchester rifle (Model 1894 Carbine, .30 WCF, French Military Contract 9-22-1914) with red circles around swivels. Perhaps the Winchester representa- tives did not want to brag that they had sold a large order to Remington, and Remington representatives did not want to brag that they had sold an order of Winchesters; therefore, there would have been little publicity.

  • The History of Firearm Magazines and Magazine Prohibitions
    KOPEL 3/17/2015 11:41 AM THE HISTORY OF FIREARM MAGAZINES AND MAGAZINE PROHIBITIONS David B. Kopel* I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, the prohibition of firearms magazines has become an important topic of law and policy debate. This article details the history of magazines and of magazine prohibition. The article then applies the historical facts to the methodologies of leading cases that have looked to history to analyze the constitutionality of gun control laws. Because ten rounds is an oft-proposed figure for magazine bans, Part II of the article provides the story of such magazines from the sixteenth century onward. Although some people think that multi- shot guns did not appear until Samuel Colt invented the revolver in the 1830s, multi-shot guns predate Colonel Colt by over two centuries.1 Especially because the Supreme Court’s decision in District of Columbia v. Heller2 considers whether arms are “in common use” and are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes,”3 the article also pays attention to whether and when particular guns and their magazines achieved mass-market success in the United States. The first time a rifle with more than ten rounds of ammunition did so was in 1866,4 and the first time a * Adjunct Professor of Advanced Constitutional Law, Denver University, Sturm College of Law.

    A Sharp Little Affair: The Archeology of the Big Hole Battlefield By Douglas D. Scott With Special Sections by Melissa A. Connor Dick Harmon Lester Ross REPRINTS IN ANTHROPOLOGY VOLUME 45 1994 Published by J & L Reprint Company 410 Wedgewood Drive Lincoln, Nebraska 68510 Revised for PDF publication June 2009 Acknowledgments First and foremost we wish to acknowledge and thank Hank Williams, Jr. for his interest and financial support. The National Park Service seldom has the luxury of conducting an archeological research project that is not tied to some development project or some overriding management action. Mr. William's support allowed us to pursue this investigation for the benefit of the park without being tied to a specific management requirement. His support did allow us to accomplish several management goals that otherwise would have waited their turn in the priority system. This project has had more than its fair share of those who have given their time, resources, and knowledge without thought of compensation. Specifically Irwin and Riva Lee are to be commended for their willingness to ramrod the metal detecting crew. They volunteered for the duration for which we are truly grateful. Aubrey Haines visited us during the field investigations and generously shared his vast knowledge of the Big Hole battle history with us. His willingness to loan material and respond to our questions is truly appreciated. Former Unit Manager Jock Whitworth and his entire staff provided much support and aid during the investigations. Jock and his staff allowed us to invade the park and their good-natured acceptance of our disruption to the daily schedule is acknowledged with gratitude.

  • Last of the Classic Lever Actions by Rob Kassab & Brad Dunbar
    Winchester Model 1895 - Last of The Classic Lever Actions By Rob Kassab & Brad Dunbar The title of this excellent new book by Kassab and Dunbar says it all; the Model 1895 Winchester was really the last of the classic lever-action rifles. The 1895 was indeed a “transition” firearm that saw big changes in the firearms world and had a successful career not only in America but all over the world. Chamberings in the Model ’95 ran the gamut from black-powder cartridges to smokeless, high-velocity rounds. If I’ve piqued your interest in learning more about the Winchester Model 1895, then you are in luck. This new book by Rob Kassab and Brad Dunbar will answer every question you could have about the rifle. I thought I was pretty well-versed on 1895s but found out that I merely knew enough to be dangerous. There is much more to the ’95 Winchester story than I would have imagined. Fortunately, Kassab and Dunbar have done an excellent job in telling that story. From the genius of John Browning and William Mason to standardized and custom production at Winchester, reloading tools, military contracts, accoutrements such as slings and bayonets, and of course, the Theodore Roosevelt connection . all are covered in this comprehensive book. My own interest in Model 1895s has always centered around the musket contract that was done with Russia for the first World War. The ’95 was one of the very few lever-action rifles to serve in a major conflict when the world had almost universally gone to bolt-action rifles for their armies.
