    Hello Rick,

    1. The Model 1890 could have been special ordered with a Lyman Tang sight throughout its entire production period. That said, more often than not it was added after the fact.

    2. Are you asking about the steel crescent butt plates found on the Sporting Rifles, or the curved Carbine butt plate? Sporting Rifles were made up through 1937. The butt plate on the Carbine was changed in early 1937 from the traditional type to the serrated steel shotgun style.

    3. Anytime you cut the barrel on an original pre-64 Winchester, you greatly diminish the value.
