This video delves into a rare first variation of the Winchester Model 1895 Musket, highlighting its distinct features compared to the later second pattern. The description focuses on the receiver profile change from a flat side to a scalloped relief cut and the significant improvement in the out-of-battery firing safety mechanism, characterized by a spring-loaded lower element on the action lever. Early first pattern Winchester 1895s, particularly those manufactured between serial numbers 5000 and 6000, are noted for their rarity, especially in excellent condition, making this example particularly noteworthy for collectors and enthusiasts.
