  Wish to find a source of information explaining the mechanical functions of parts, in detail, during the operation of this rifle. Will greatly appreciate knowing of available reference. Thanks for your help - please address to jclane40@yahoo.com

  Hello Doc,
  
  From time to time, I see repro manuals for the Model 1890/1906 at the Antique gun shows that I attend, and on eBay. Outside of that, your best bet is to get a copy of Ned Schwing's book
  
  TITLE: Winchester Slide-Action Rifles: Model 1890 and Model 1906
  ISBN: 0-873412-09-5
  Publisher: Krause Publications
  Publish Date: 05/01/1999

  Dear Bert H
  Thanks for the reply. I have Ned Schwing's book but what I am looking for may not exist. I wish to understand what every working part does as the rifle is operated. From experience of rebuilding about 50 of these guns I have learned a good bit but ever now I get "stumped" on a problem and have to figure it out.
  Thanks for writing. Sincerely,
  JCL

  Hello Doc,
  
  You may be right about that... I am not sure that I have ever seen anything with that type of detail. However, "figuring it out" is half the fun[:D] Good luck with your search (and please let me know if you find anything).
  
  Regards,
