Curious question of the day...
Given the scarcity of the most produced 1895 variant, why hasn't Winchester/Browning/FN/Miroku done a replica of the WW1 Russian 1895 Musket?
A clip loaded 1895 for ~$1000 that shoots cheap 7.62x54mmR would seem to be highly desirable, plus a cool replica of a historic arm.
Thoughts?
Too must extra customization for the clip loading system versus "normal" production examples .30-06/.30-40/.405?
Lever gun would not play nice with steel case and/or surplus corrosive ammo?
