Description:
HISTORIC, EARLY MODEL 2 1890 .22 WRF "BROWNING BROS. CO. OGDEN U " MARKED, #130XXX, MADE 1902. John Browning designed this model, the first Winchester pump .22 rifle, and this one was sold through the Browning shop in Ogden, Utah. It has the correct tiny stamping on the barrel top just ahead of the rear sight. There's a good chance John Browning himself handled this rifle! This example is a second model and one of the few with verified western usage. The .22 WRF was quite a bit more powerful than the .22 Short and .22 Long which were also offered in this model. It was popular with sheep herders, ranchers and farmers for use against varmints and to protect sheep herds from coyotes at short distances. The receiver blue has aged to mostly an uncleaned brown. The barrel and mag tube show good aged blue mixing with a little plum/brown. At some point on the history of this rifle a very fine Marbles Tang Site was added. Small buckhorn rear sight with Lyman "Jack" front sight (half-moon with ivory bead). Small buckhorn rear sight with Lyman "Jack" front sigtht (half-moon with ivory bead). Stock and forearm show normal handling The action is tight and the bore is a bit dark but shows good rifling with some light scattered pitting. These Browning marked guns don't show up too often and give a good clue to the location and use of the piece.
