1895 question
Must be karma that the lead photo is a '95. I have read quite a bit about the '95 Winchester, but never owned one. I was just reading the article in the online American Rifleman about them, and was wondering, what makes the '95 Musket, a musket? Were they not rifled, or was it just the long stock?

In this case, the "Musket" designation comes from barrel and stock length.
