This is just an unbelievable example of a fairly early third model Winchester Model 1890 slide action rifle that is just in gorgeous, like new condition, appearing to be unfired. This stunning rifle was manufactured in early 1901 as a standard model with a color case hardened action. The top barrel flat is stamped with the two line Winchester markings of: "MANUFACTURED BY THE/WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO. NEW HAVEN CONN. U.S.A.", followed by "22 LONG" in front of the receiver. The rifle is fitted with the standard short sporting rear sight with the standard bead front sight. It is fitted with the 3/4 length magazine tube. It has the standard later style "straight grip" plain walnut stock that is fitted with a color case hardened crescent buttplate and a standard 12 grooved pump handle. As note this rifle has probably the best all original Winchester factory, color case hardened and blued finish that we have ever offered for sale, even the face of the breech bolt remains in the white with no signs of firing.
