Description:

OPS !!  
PRICE REDUCED to $2900.00 was 3185.00 ! NO FFL REQUIRED IS A ANTIQUE  !!!  ........... AM GOING TO REMOVE THIS LISTING IN 24 HOURS ! THEN REPOST IT AFTER NEW YEARS !!         

AS you can see this  stunning example has been  meticulously fully restored with ALL original parts from the rifle no after parts. All work was done by EUBANKS GUNSMITHING OF OF IDAHO .  THEY HAVE DONE PROFESSIONAL  RESTORATIONS FOR SOME OF THE  FINEST ENGRAVERS AVAILABLE.TODAY.  Including ANGELO  BEE and Pauline Muerrle the last living Winchester engraver. I took this 1890 22 SHORT out to the range today to make sure the all was working fineThese are the first  rounds  (20)  since the restoration some years ago .

The action is tight needing more rounds  to smooth it out over time. This rifle is in perfect condition in and out Like it left the WINCHESTER FACTORY  yesterday!  Again all parts  are  original except the new 22 SHORT sleeve I doubt you would have known  unless I told you it been added . KEEP IN MIND THSE EARLY 1890'S  CAN SELL  FOR CLOSE TO 5 FIGURES OR MORE! WHAT MAKES THIS MORE RARE IT IS A " BROKEN MANUFACTORED " ONLY 1500  WERE EVER MADE. I HAVE LITTEL DOUBT THER ARE  LESS THEN 500 STILL AROUND ! THE BARRELS MADE THEM USELESS IN SHORT TIME FROM THE EARLY PRIMERS DISTROIED THE LANDS AND  GROVES.

The long rear Winchester  tang site it to is original not a add on. I have seen several of these odd tang sights on 1890 22 shorts. There is at  
Least  one or two in the Cody Collection, are extremely rare ! You can find photos them on Google it just takes time One thing more these these original tang sight made by Winchester
sell for $500.00. Any questions  please e mail or call me  Free S&H Lower 48 States ! I also have a letter from the BUFFALO BILL CENTER OF THE WEST LETTER! (a $75.00 PURCHAS) inclluded Free!
My asking price  (buy it Now ) is $2,900.00  No FFL  required the 1890  was made in 1891 and shipped in August . Winchester made a total of 93 rifles in 1890 . Making this rifle a Antique  no FFL  required

SOME EXTRAS 

This  1st model 1890 is known FOR HAVING A  1890 WINCHESTER BROKEN MANUFACTUREC the D was broken and it looks like a C. My rifle is a  rare "BROKEN MANUFACTUREC "  LESS THEN  1500 WERE MADE between 1890 and  1891 BEFORE WINCHESTER  FOUND THE  MISTAKE ! SEE MY SCANS

BARREL LENGTH IS 24  3/8  INCHES NOT A TYPICAL 24 INCH ON 2ND AND 3 RD MODELS .

AS SHOWN IN MY SCANS THE SERIAL #  4606 MADE IN August, 1891. Makes this fine rifle  a very early example !

MANY OLDER MODEL 1890s HAVE HAD BARREL LINERS INSERTED IN BARRELS THAT ARE TOO BADLY CORRODEDTO SHOOT PROPERLY (page 99 Winchester side action rifles by Ned Schwing).

RIFLE WILL COME WITH CODY LETTER!
