WINCHESTER 1890 .22 SHORT

Description:
Guns Listing ID: 570809



The Winchester Model 1890 stands as a fine representation of Winchester’s enduring craftsmanship and John M. Browning’s design genius. This particular example is chambered in .22 Short, a caliber that made the rifle immensely popular in shooting galleries and for small game hunting thanks to its light recoil, low cost, and consistent accuracy. Featuring a 24-inch octagonal barrel with a blued finish, it combines both durability and classic late 19th-century styling. The rifle is outfitted with a blade front sight and adjustable rear sight, allowing shooters to achieve precise accuracy, whether for recreational target practice or practical field use. Its smooth hardwood straight grip stock and ribbed forearm provide a traditional feel and secure handling, further emphasizing Winchester’s balance of function and aesthetics. As a Second Model takedown variant, this 1890 incorporates mechanical improvements over the First Model, including external locking lugs for added action strength and reliability. The takedown feature made the rifle easy to transport and maintain, which was a valuable asset for both gallery operators and field shooters. Produced in large numbers between 1890 and 1932, the Model 1890 became one of the most successful and iconic rimfire repeating rifles ever built, with over 849,000 units manufactured. This 1905-dated rifle reflects that golden era, bridging the gap between Winchester’s earliest repeating rimfire designs and later refinements. Today, examples like this are highly sought after by collectors, not only for their historical significance but also for their enduring mechanical precision and timeless design, ensuring the Winchester 1890’s place as a classic in American firearms history. The rife has been sleeved and the rifling is very clean.
