Your new Model 1895 has unique features found
only on the Takedown model. The primary difference
is the addition of a mechanism that allows you to
separate the barrel/forearm half of the rifle from
the receiver half of the rifle. The takedown design
utilizes an interrupted thread system on the barrel
extension and receiver, and a barrel lock on the
forearm which allows you to disengage the
barrel/forearm from the receiver.
