This is a very good example of a late 3rd Model variation of the Model 1890 rifle. This model's distinctive feature is the locking cut made on the top of the receiver to allow the breech bolt to lock internally. This particular rifle features a dovetail front sight and adjustable rear with a 3/4 length magazine. The left side of the barrel has the two line Winchester address and patent dates as well as the model number and caliber marking. Standard markings on the upper and lower tangs with the two proof marks at the breech on the barrel and receiver. Mounted with nicely figured, slab sawed, uncheckered American walnut straight grip stock with small round 12 groove forearm and crescent steel buttplate.
