So a friend was cleaning out the attic of this home about to be torn down, when he came across this M1895 rifle. Serial number 8xxx, surface rust, action possibly froze, wood in good shape and all markings legible, what's it worth approximately?
While I found some general, and interesting, information as to the history, I can't locate any for sell. Approximately 15k were built for the Navy, and Marines, I know it's not an abundant rifle. And I know pictures would help, but I haven't got any, but will try. Based on what I'm told, I'd conservatively rate the rifle 60-65%.
Thanks ahead of time!
