Early WINCHESTER .22 Short M1906 Slide Action TAKEDOWN Rifle C&R Made 1908

EARLY Standard and Iconic Model 1906 in .22 Short

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1906 Slide Action Rifle, manufactured in 1908 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester Model 1906 was designed as a more inexpensive companion to the popular Model 1890. The main differences being the 1906's flat shotgun-style butt plate and rounded barrel, as opposed to the 1890s crescent butt plate and octagon barrel. When the Model 1906 first became available, it was chambered exclusively for the .22 Short cartridge, as is this example.

There were three different variants produced by Winchester: the .22 Short Model, the Standard Model, and the Expert Model. The .22 Short Model was made until 1908, when the caliber modification came about. It was distinguishable by its flat, plain slide grip. Although production ended officially in 1932 for this Model 1906 and its variants, a number of Model 1906 rifles were built out of spare parts left in the factory until 1936. The last known serial number is 847,997, which does not match the number of rifles sold. This is attributed to the fact that large blocks of serial numbers were skipped during production.

The overall condition is fine. Original blue finish is preserved. Excellent action. Bright bore with serviceable rifling. Solid stock and forend with light handing wear. Markings are sharp. The rear peep sight is always a nice feature! Adjustable front flip sight.
