This is the third volume in Arthur Pirkle's major new study of the Winchester Lever Action Repeating Rifles, the first in more than 25 years. As in the two previous volumes, the Models of 1894 and 1895 are examined and described on a part-by-part by serial number basis. All dimensions, markings, finishes and any changes to a part are listed complete with its serial number range of use. The Model 1894 has 66 parts, the Model 1895, 62. With very few exceptions, each part was changed at least once during its manufacturing life, and sometimes, more often. These changes make it easy to determine the authenticity of a Winchester Lever Action Rifle. Parts are described so thoroughly that you will be able to differentiate between "Winchester-manufactured," after-market or reproduction parts.

Winchester Lever Action Repeating Rifles, Vol. 3, The Models of 1894 and 1895 provides a complete and detailed description of every one of these changes. Experienced collectors know that the value of the firearms in their collection depends in large part on their authenticity. Know that your Winchester lever action repeating rifle is correct; if it isn't, let Arthur Pirkle show you how to replace incorrect, or worse, reproduction parts.
