Winchester Model 1890 Slide Action Rifle Chambered for 22 WRF

This Third Model 1890 rifle was manufactured in 1914 and chambered for the 22 WRF cartridge. It has a dovetail front sight and a Lyman tang peep sight, with the rear sight removed and a filler block added. Standard markings on the upper left barrel flat with "22 W.R.F." stamped at the breech. Twelve groove forearm and smooth straight grip stock with crescent buttplate.

ConditionVery good. The barrel and magazine retain 70% thinning original blue finish with slide wear. The frame retains 80% bright original blue finish with some minor edge wear, some speckling of brown, some minor scratches, and a few patches of brown patina, with thinning on the lower tang. The forearm is very fine with a few minor handling marks. The damage buttstock is ill-fitting and widened or separated at the frame (due to impact on heel of butt), with a large bare wood sanded indentation on the left side, a few minor pressure dents, and some minor dings and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
