Winchester Model 1890

Winchester Model 1890 from 1909
The gallery gun

[@James-fl9bv]

I have a Winchester 1890 22 WRF made in 1911. Still in good shape. Functions and shoots good

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

Lots of fun

[@deakindog7525]

i have my grandpaps 90/22 made in early 20's. per my mom was a gallery gun, he chambered it to 22lr. smooth bore. quite accurate

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

You're right about the gallery gun. Took it shooting a week ago last Monday. A lot of fun

[@Copperheadroad1]

The smooth bores for bird shot are rare.

[@dbergum1]

I remember my Grandad having one of these...I wish I knew what happened to it...

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

Cool little rifle

[@MrLinuso]

I have a model 90 in 22 long. It was having feed issues. The lifter wasn't lifting and the rounds in the mag were sticking out not letting the lifter come up. 22 LR work in it as I believe it was converted to shoot those LR rounds. I hope the chamber was also drilled some to allow for the bullet length difference (case length is same for L and LR) Does that subtract from the value?

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

They say removing the rust detracts from the value. Or even shooting As you can see from my videos and others have written their sisagreemenr for me a good looking good shooting gun is value to me. I don't xare. As for your feed issue sounds like wrong side ammo

I have one that belonged to my father in law. This one has a flip up rear peep site. I cannot find the serial anywhere on it. Not behind the trigger or barrel. What can you yell at me about it and where is the serial number? Thanks

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

Many of those older ones had no serial number. Not until required in 68. Some sears guns had a stock type umber but will not help aging a gun

[@alexrebmann1253]

@@mudroomgunswithtom Research that I am doing because of the flip up rear peep site might have been made around 1925. Thank you

If you join GUNBOARDS Forum board and go to old shotguns those guys are a real wealth of knowledge

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

Sorry got confused with another gun. Mine doesn't have a flip up and is dated 1911. These are fun guns. Recommend you try the winchester group on facebook or winchester on gunboards forum. Guys have a lot of k owledge

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

Isn't there a serial number on bottom tang

[@t.c.2776]

I will have to disagree with your initial comment... this was NOT a gun for "fun"... I'm sure plenty of squirrels and rabbits were take to put on the dinner tables of America with this rifle... the fact that it was "fun" to plink with (which honed your hunting skills) and the fact that many ended up in carnival shooting galleries all across American, doesn't change the fact that this is an accurate reliable shooter and even came in the first .22 magnum style cartridge, the .22 WRF

[@mudroomgunswithtom]

For me. Shooting any of my rifles is fun. If it weren't fun why would I do it?
