I have a pump 22 with model 1890 on the lower tang. The serial numbers on the lower tang and under the reciever dont match. It has model 06 on the barrel for 1906 and it has the proof mark on the barrel for 1906 but not the reciever and it has a round barrel. Serial# 177528 on lower tang. #386008 on the reciever with an A stamped below that. It shoots long rifle or shorts.What do I have.

  You have what is referred to as a "Frankenchester".
  
  Serial number 177528 is a Second Model 1890. Serial number 386008 (with the "A") is a Third Model 1890. The barrel is from a post April 1919 manufactured Model 06. Parts from at least three different guns.
