These N.R.A. muskets were made to comply with the specifications of the National Rifle Association of America. To comply for target matches of the association for "any military arm" matches, special 24 inch barrels, Model 1901 Krag rear sights and a special flat butt plates were fitted to the standard Model 1895 musket. The Model 1895 muskets chambered in .30-03 caliber were manufactured from 1908 to 1917, with this example being made in 1912. The contoured receiver has the standard two-line address/patent dates on the left side, the upper tang has the three-line model/trademark information, and the lower tang has the serial number. The top of the receiver is marked with Winchester oval proof and the caliber marking. The front barrel band has a bayonet lug and stacking swivel, and a sling swivel is on the rear barrel band and stock. The forearm has a finger groove, and there is an upper handguard.

Fine, retains 60% plus of the original blue finish with the balance having thinned to mostly a smooth grey patina, primarily on the upper edges of the receiver, and a few scattered patches of light pitting. There are a few cracks coming off both tangs including one 2 1/2 inch crack off the lower tang and one at the front of the handguard, otherwise the wood is also fine with some scattered light handling marks and minor dings. Mechanically excellent.
