(and never mind that the cowpoke era was on its last legs in 1895. i <i>can't</i> be the only guy who wants one of these things, and the SASS gunmakers have the most experience with technology of at least roughly that era.) i’ve been wanting one of those Russian contract ones too, badly enough to taste it. there’s just something about a box magazine lever gun that makes me go, “WHY doesn’t one of the SASS-gun repro companies have that in their regular product lineup?”

I was always hoping to find a "beater" M1895 at a gunshow that was a Russian contract one that made it back. I read a story about a guy who got one as a war bring back in Korea. When Winchester reintroduced this model, before the closure at New Haven, they had a survey on their website asking which caliber it should be produced in, and I picked 7.62x54R, since .30-40 Krag was already available.

I love these and have always wanted one because I adore the obscure, but $1640 MSRP? Maybe I'm just cheap, but JEEZ! Can't they get some of these parts built in Italy or Croatia or Russia or somewhere?! They were last produced in 2006, and a .30-06 version was produced for it’s 100th year.
