What a nice gift this WInchester would make for a kid.
I'm not into restorations, but this is a good looking rifle based on the pictures and has been sleeved as well.  That said, if it shoots as good as it looks, it might end up being a good buy dollar wise too.

    Wow! In my opinion that is way out of the 'kid' category! That gun has been worked over to where it is now too valuable and pretty to shoot. My kids learned on a Stevens Mod. 15 that I got for 40 bucks at a farm auction. That gun had better bring over a grand or the owner is going to lose money on it.

     Far from any of my grandkids. The company that did that did a great job, imo. She will do well.

    I guess I should of prefaced that with for the well to do kids, because it was not something any of my kind of relatives could afford when I was a kid.  Still, kids who were somewhat well to do had the nice old original Winchester 1890's that many of us collect nowadays.

    That's a beautiful early second model 1890. I love the stock and forearm, but not so much the case hardening. It's pretty and I like it, but isn't original to that rifle. It looks like excellent work and should bring a good price.

    It is excellent work at that.  Lots of guns are going at very low prices now.

    That is Beautiful. I would Love to have that in my collection. Not in the works, just now. (I have a bunch of .22shorts that will not function [feed] in my Marlin 81DL.)

    That gun is Beautiful.

    It is a great restoration, and the price has about double since first posting the link.  With dealers still bidding, we might get some outstanding insight to what professionally restored 1890s on a very soft market might bring...and that helps too!
