Original U.S. Winchester 2nd Model 1890 .22WRF Pump Action Repeating Take-down Rifle made in 1894 - Serial 27504

Original Item: Only One Available. The Winchester Model 1890 is a pump-action (slide-action) repeating rifle produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company in the late 19th and early 20th century. Intended for target shooting and small game, it was chambered in several different .22 chamberings, all of which were NOT interchangeable. Designed under a new patent by John Browning, it became the most successful repeating rimfire rifle for general all-around shooting ever made by Winchester. After the first 15,000 were produced, they moved to a 2nd model, which was a take-down rifle, perfect for stowing in a small rifle case for transport. This fine example of a 2nd Model 1890 rifle is in .22 Winchester Rimfire caliber (Marked 22 W.R.F above the chamber) with a desirable 24 inch octagonal barrel and 18 inch bottom loaded magazine tube. It features the classic front sight and a simple notch rear sight on the barrel, as well as a lovely adjustable "peep sight" mounted to the receiver tang
