Letter from the Winchester Repeating Arms Company to Theodore Roosevelt

Subject(s): Firearms, Gunstocks, Hunting, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Winchester rifle

Based on President Roosevelt’s .45-70 rifle, the Winchester Repeating Arms Company has prepared the Model ’95 rifle with the same trigger pull. They are still waiting on the “extra thickness silver” recoil pads to finish the work on the stocks of the Model ’95 rifle. For smaller game, the 1886 .45-70 rifle is sufficient.
