Featured in this lot we have an early Winchester Model 1890 pump action rifle in .22 Short caliber, serial number 396452, manufactured in 1908. The rifle features a .22 short chambering along with its standard 24" long barrel, walnut stock, and distinctive slide action. All Winchester markings and patent dates on the barrel are sharp and distinct as is the “MODEL 1890” 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 with correct and desirable 1901 patent date. The front sight is the correct short blade with bead. The action is tight and the forend is excellent. The forend screws are also in excellent condition . The butt stock is an uncleaned dark reddish/brown walnut that Winchester was known for. The takedown fit between the receiver and barrel assembly is also tight with no play and the bore retains good rifling. 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. This is an outstandingly 112 year old Winchester. Serial Number: 396452. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
