Winchester Model 1890 Third Model Takedown .22 Long Pump-Action Rifle – 1907 Production, 24-Inch Octagon Barrel
Produced in 1907, this Winchester Model 1890 Third Model Takedown is a classic John M. Browning–designed gallery rifle chambered for .22 Long. Matching serial numbers on the lower tang and receiver extension verify its original configuration, and the 24-inch octagon barrel pairs with a 12+1 tubular magazine for period-correct capacity. Collectors will recognize the walnut straight-grip stock, 11-groove pump handle, and blued steel finish that define this early smokeless-era Winchester.

What’s Included
- Winchester Model 1890 Third Model Takedown pump-action rifle (.22 Long)
The Third Model Takedown system allows the rifle to separate quickly into barrel/magazine and receiver/stock assemblies for easy transport and cleaning—an innovative feature for its time.
Chambered specifically for .22 Long, this example represents a less common variation today, adding scarcity value for collectors focused on early Winchester rimfires.
The 24-inch octagon barrel provides a traditional sight picture through its blade front and semi-buckhorn adjustable rear iron sights. The full-length tubular magazine holds 12 rounds plus one in the chamber, maintaining the rifle’s original gallery-gun capacity.
Walnut furniture retains the straight-grip stock and 11-groove pump handle that give the Model 1890 its distinctive handling. An external hammer and smooth pump action complete the Browning-engineered operating system.
