The Winchester Model 1895 was John Moses Browning’s last iteration of lever-action rifles that accommodated a full-power cartridge without using a tube-fed magazines. Of all nations in WW1, the Russian Empire was mainly the one attributed to widely using the lever action rifle in a modern conflict by chambering the 1895 in 7.62x54R, a respectable service cartridge for accuracy and distance shooting.
Because of this, the Russian Contract 1895 has become the single example of military employment of a lever action in a sea of bolt action rifles chambered in full-powered service loads… but should we have adapted lever action rifles all along? Could lever actions have tipped the scale of modern combat? We investigate.

The hosts Henry and Josh started shooting from humble backgrounds, and families that had no foundation in the shooting sports or firearms. Through their journey in shooting sports, they have both developed extremely different backgrounds that compliment each other with perspectives in historical firearms development, employment, rifle performance, munitions development, firearms manipulation, and publications.
The show aims to create a comprehensive brief of information that helps researchers, consumers, government entities and enthusiasts in their quest for beneficial information, no matter what answers they seek.
