The Model 1895, however, accepted higher-powered spitzer cartridges with pointed-nose bullets, and loading pointed bullets tip-to-primer increased the potential of an accidental primer detonation. But, by incorporating a box magazine, the cartridges could be stacked horizontally, curbing the risk of primer mishaps. The Model 1895 had two distinct frame styles. Rifles made between 1895 and 1896, within the first 5,000 models, sported a \u201cflatside\u201d frame with no fluting or ridge contours. The remaining 420,000 rifles had frames with fluting and ridges. The Model 1895 was another favorite of Theodore Roosevelt. He used one on his 1909 African safari that was chambered in .405 Winchester.

<\/figcaption><\/figure>There are far more variations in barrel lengths, shapes, calibers, metal finishes and wood grades than could be covered here. Despite the many differences between the models, there is one feature that they all share: Carbines have barrel bands while rifles and muskets have caps. While this article was not intended to be the definitive source on Winchester lever-action rifles, I hope it provides enough information to pique your interest so that you\u2019ll seek out one of the many weighty tomes about Oliver Winchester and his ubiquitous rifles. But a word of caution: A bite from the collector bug leads to a lifelong affliction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
