This serial-matched M1895 was just imported from a private collection in Finland and is 1916 production dated. It has been away from American shores for over a century and we are extremely pleased to have been able to bring this piece back for you to consider adding to your collection.
Winchester had a successful commercial gun on their hands with the Model 1895 lever-action so when World War I struck, they were disinterested in original attempts by the Imperial Russian government to have them re-tool and produce Mosin-Nagant pattern rifles. Instead Winchester offered the Czar’s men to rechamber their commercially successful Model 1895 into the M1895 by accepting the Russian 7.62x54R round, adding stripper-clip feed guides, and a bayonet lug among other minor changes. The Russians, desperate for small arms, agreed and several contracts (not all of them paid for) were signed for Winchester to produce these guns for Russian service. The M1895 is the ONLY lever-action rifle adopted for formal infantry service by a European force and was predominantly issued to 2nd line units, garrison forces, and those who “needed a gun” but were less likely to see combat so that standard production runs of Mosin-pattern rifles could be directed to the front.
This example ended up in Finnish instead of Russian hands and is provinanced to Finnish forces in both the Independence movement as well as the Finnish Civil War.

Purchasing through Citizens Armory Imports is simple—just four quick steps:
Browse the catalog, apply filters as needed, and open the product page of the gun that best fits your needs and preferences.
Select the quantity and hit “Add to Cart.”
You’ll select FFL during checkout. You may need to ask the dealer to email a signed copy of their FFL to [email protected], referencing your order number. They must also authorize shipment to their address. This is a general list of FFL dealers and not necessarily a list of who we ship to.
When your firearm arrives, visit the FFL to complete the ATF Form 4473, background check, and any state paperwork. Bring valid photo ID (and permits, if required), pay the dealer’s transfer fee and taxes, then head to the range with your new purchase!
