What's Included
- Winchester Model 1890 Third Model .22 WRF pump-action rifle
The Third Model configuration pairs the classic Winchester pump action with a top-ejecting design and .22 WRF chambering. Period-correct markings are present, including the barrel-top manufacturer and patent dates and the "22 W.R.F" caliber roll mark at the breech.
Its takedown construction shows the external joint at the receiver/barrel interface. The lower tang and takedown assembly carry matching serial numbers, aligning the major components with each other.
The rifle is built around a 24-inch octagonal barrel and an under-barrel tubular magazine with a loading port near the muzzle. Stated capacity is 12+1. The action uses an exposed hammer and a smooth pump stroke aided by the grooved walnut forend.
Walnut furniture includes a straight-grip stock with a crescent buttplate and a 13.0-inch length of pull. Sight regulation is handled by a dovetailed blade front sight and an open rear sight with elevator. The rifle was finished in blued steel.
