Win 1890 Value
I just bought a winchester 1890 in 22 short. It has a replacement stock - maybe a 1906? The bore is dark and some pitting. I think it was made in 1901 and may be a second model. I can't tell if it was color case hardened or not. Please see the photos and if possible, give me you best estimate of value. What do I do about the replacement stock? I really appreciate all the experts who take the time to help out so many people. Thanks!

Hello,
It is a Second Model, and Yes, it was originally case color finished. The DOM is June 1901.
The butt stock is most likely originally from a Model 62/62A.
The overall graded condition of the rifle is not good enough to warrant spending any additional $$$ trying to make it any better. If you paid more that $250 for it, you are going to be in the hole on it.0 -
nice find. if you just want more orginal shaped butt stock i believe Brownells sells the set (butt & forearm) for around $35. nobody on the planet knows more about gun value than Bert H. so just in case you gave a little more than what was recomended your in the same boat as me. i found a model 1906 a while ago and paid a bucket full more than its real worth but it was what i wanted. besides, i don't want any left over money stuck in the coffin with me on that last day anyway 0 -
You may as well spend a few more dollars and replace the stock and have it sleeved. At least you will have a fun, usable shooter. 0
