Winchester Model 1890
I HAVE A WINCHESTER MODEL 90 THIRD MODEL IN .22WRF WITH A ROUND BARREL -NOT OCTAGON. THE SERIAL NUMBER IS 580417 ON BOTH THE LOWER TANG AND UNDER RECEIVER MAKING THE MANUFACTURE DATE 1917. I CAN FIND NO ROUND BARREL 1890 RIFLES IN .22WRF - IS THIS A REBARREL? WINCHESTER LOGO MARKS ARE BOTH ON BARREL AND RECEIVER IN PROPER LOCATION. THANKS FOR ANY HELP.

I was looking for a Winchester model 1890 and some guns were showing up as model 90. Are the model 90s the same as a model 1890. Thank You 0 -
Hello,
Your great grandfather's old Model 1890 is a Second Model that was manufactured in the early part of the year 1899 (February is when the receiver was serialized). The good news is that you can purchase a factory letter for it from the Cody Firearms Musuem, which will provide you with the precise date that it was received in the warehouse from the assembly room.
The receiver frame was originally case color finished versus being blued, and that is why it does not appear to have any bluing on it.
The graded condition will determine how much collector value it has, and without seeing the gun in person (or having a series of well illuminated and clear pictures), it is not possible to determine what value is at this point.0 -
Right now the rifle is at my parents house for safe keeping. I would be able to send you some pictures in 3 weeks or so if that would be alright and you would be able to help me.
Thanks,
