WINCHESTER 1890 PUMP Action TAKEDOWN Rifle in SCARCE .22 Winchester Rimfire

1930s Easy Takedown Rifle

Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1890 Slide Action Rifle chambered in .22 Winchester Rimfire, manufactured in 1932 in New Haven, Connecticut. In the late 1880s, the Winchester Repeating Arms Company asked John Moses Browning to design a replacement for the Model 1873 rifle, since the rim fire version of the Model 1873 had never achieved any great popularity. On June 26, 1888, a patent for the new design was issued to John & Matthew Browning. Under this patent, Winchester created the second repeating slide action .22 rifle ever successfully developed and manufactured, being narrowly edged out by the Colt Lightning small frame carbine The Model 1890 proved to be the most successful repeating rim fire rifle for general all around shooting ever made by Winchester. Approximately 849,000 Model 1890 rifles were produced between 1890 and 1932. For many years, the Model 1890 was considered to be the standard for use in shooting galleries, hence its nickname of "gallery gun."

The Model 1890 was produced in three distinct versions. The first model had a solid frame, a case-hardened receiver, and a fixed rear sight. There were approximately 15,000 of these were produced between 1890 and 1892. The second model was designed as a takedown rifle. It also had a case-hardened receiver, but this model had an adjustable rear sight. Approximately 100,000 second model rifles were produced with case hardened receivers and 200,000 were produced with blued receivers. A deluxe version was offered, which featured a fancy checkered walnut stock available in either straight or pistol grip and a grooved slide handle. The third model was also produced as a takedown rifle and featured a modified receiver that allowed the breech bolt to lock externally. The third model was also available in a deluxe version, which, similar to the second model, featured a fancy checkered walnut stock available in either straight or pistol grip and a grooved slide handle.

The overall condition is good. The action is robust and smooth. Bright bore, but does have a dark bulge (squib) ring in the center. Solid stock. Original blue. Numbers match.
