Featured in this lot we have a Winchester Model 1890 slide action rifle chambered in .22 short. The rifle was manufactured by Winchester in 1899. The rifle features a .22 short chambering along with its standard 24" long barrel, walnut stock, and distinctive slide action. The barrel is marked across the top with the appropriate Winchester markings and caliber stamping. The barrel ahead of the receiver is clearly marked “22 LONG” and the upper tang retains good Winchester markings. This rifle also retains the original buckhorn rear sight. The front sight is the correct short blade with bead. The action is tight and the forend is excellent. The takedown fit between the receiver and barrel assembly is also tight with no play and some wear and play on the stock. The Model 1890 was one of the most iconic and successful of all 20th Century .22 Rim Fire rifles. Most saw hard use in target shooting, small game hunting and general plinking. Very few have survived in presentable condition today. The rifle weighs 5lbs 12oz. Serial Number: 78404. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic firearm, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
