Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: HIGH CONDITION AND FANCY STOCKED MODEL ’90 IN .22WRF, #768XXX. This is a very high serial number rifle that puts it in the category of a “parts clean-up” rifle made in the last year of production in 1941. During this last year serial numbers ranged from 752044 all the way up to 849100- serial numbers were assigned almost at random in this period.  It is interesting to note that according to The Winchester Handbook by George Madis, in 1936 only 863 M-90s were made; in 1937 42 were made; in 1938 11 were made; in 1939 17 were made; in 1940 17 were made with no number listed for 1941. I have found that in all models of Winchester rifles assembled during the last year or two of “parts clean-up” that some unusual variations occur as some unusual unused parts were found and used to complete a rifle. Obviously, a fancy walnut stock with full fiddleback grain pattern turned up and was put on this rifle! The forend/pump appears to have been chosen to match the stock regarding color etc. Serial numbers match on the receiver and lower tang. The receiver retains almost all the blue with normal very light brown flaking showing through on the bolt and some on the receiver sides and bottom- still retains fine deep blue. The barrel shows nearly all of the deep factory blue and all late style markings are sharp. The bore is sharp, bright and excellent- not often seen for this caliber! The mag tube bottom half is mixing plum with deeper blue on the top half. Original standard open sights and excellent wood that shows very light handling only. A really unusual and attractive Model 90 in great condition!
