Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: MODEL 1890 IN THE MOST DESIRABLE AND DIFFICULT CALIBER TO OBTAIN .22 LONG RIFLE. This is an extremely early rifle as the .22 LR was first offered in 1919. This rifle with serial number 672XXX was made in 1920 and is one of the earliest .22 LR chambered rifles I’ve seen. The barrel shows nearly all the original blue with only the most minor of dulling or edge wear. The mag tube shows fine blue with the bottom rear portion around the loading port mixing plum. The receiver shows about all the bright blue on the bolt and upper tang- upper tang appears to have had a tang sight installed at one time as there is still an uncleaned hardened grease line from its edge. The side panels of the receiver show fine blue with heavy edge and some bottom wear mixing gray/brown from handling. Front sight is a Lyman Beach folding globe combined with a two leaf folding express rear sight. Screws are excellent, forend is excellent and butt stock is generally excellent with some light handling marks just behind the wrist on the right side- minor. The wood shows most of the original finish and the wood to metal fit is tight. This is an original .22 LR chambered rifle and does NOT have any additional “mail order” barrel proofs etc. as many .22 LR M-90s have. Bore is sharp and excellent. These have gotten almost impossible to find and this is a fine one. SOLD Curio/Relic: Yes Manufacturer: Winchester Model: 1890 Serial Number: 672XXX Caliber Info: .22 LR Condition: FINE+-EXC.
