Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Walked into a local dealer yesterday....and sitting on the rack was an 1890 Winchester pump rifle in .22LR. Octagonal barrel, pristine condition (stock and forearm clean, tight, no cracks, mild handling marks)with about 90% of its blue still there and clear rifling still in the barrel. This would be a NICE toy...at $1075. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Jake1001 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have one of these Winchester model 1890's in .22 Long Rifle. Only 10% of the total 1890's were in this caliber. Most were .22 Short, .22 Long, .22 WRF. These are all proprietary guns and will only chamber and shoot the cartridge they were made for. Winchester model "06's and model '62's and '62 A's could shoot all 3, shorts, longs, and long rifle. Most were round barrel guns. This would be a good buy if someone really wanted one. I would place a value of $1,250 to $1,300 on one in this shape. Mine was professionally restored by Rogers Restorations here in SoCal about 10 years ago. $1,500 wouldn't be out of line for value.

Sergeant Smokepole #29248L Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 I have one, a .22 Short Takedown model. It was our farm rifle as a kid in the 50's and is in pretty rough shape but it is a family heirloom.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Old Man Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I've got a 22 short take down, also family heirloom. It's in pretty decent shape. Made in 1911, belonged to my Grandpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted August 19, 2012 Author Share Posted August 19, 2012 Been reading a bit. I should have called this a "slide", not a "pump". This is a solid frame model, which I understand to be less commmon; it's also LR, which was also less common. Hmmm....Blue Book is around $1250..... Maybe I'm headed back to the shop next week...
