It's hard to appreciate how truly scarce 2nd Model 1895's truly are with antique serial numbers until you try to go out and look for look!!!! To put things into perspective, there were 426,754 Model 1895's built from 1895 to 1940. However, only the first 19,871 Model 95's qualify as true Antique rifles under Federal law that were built prior to the year 1899. Of those, roughly the first 5,000 were 1st Model Flatside rifles. OK, that leaves us with 14,871 remaining 2nd Models but of those, most were built in 1898 in the Musket configuration as part of a US Gov't contract for 10,000 during the Spanish American War. That leaves us with only 4000-6000 2nd Model Rifles and probably a very small number of carbines. That makes these about numerically equivalent to finding a scarce as early Model 1866 with a Henry-marked barrel.
