What’s Included
- Winchester Model 1906 Standard pump-action rifle
The Model 1906 is a true John Browning design, adapted from the earlier Model 1890 but simplified for economical production and wider ammunition compatibility. This Standard variant keeps the straight-grip walnut stock and ten-groove ribbed slide handle that give the gun its classic profile.
A takedown mechanism allows the barrel/receiver assembly to separate from the stock and trigger group with a single screw, making transport and cleaning straightforward. The exposed hammer and smooth pump action remain hallmarks of Winchester’s early 20th-century rimfire line.
The blued carbon-steel receiver, barrel, and small parts show the Winchester WP oval proof on the barrel and receiver, confirming factory testing. Iron sights consist of a fixed blade front and drift-adjustable rear leaf, both correct for the period.
Capacity is 15 rounds of .22 Short (12 with .22 Long and 11 with .22 Long Rifle), giving ample shots for small-game hunting or plinking without frequent reloading. The 13-inch length of pull and 20-inch barrel keep the rifle well-balanced for shooters of different sizes.
