It has also been restocked with a deluxe presentation type pistol grip walnut stock with fine checkering on the sides of the pistol grip area. This rifle is a second model with the blued takedown frame and an octagon barrel. The barrel has fixed sights, and it has been remarked on top in with the two line New Haven address followed by "22 SHORT" on the top rear flat in front of the receiver. The three line model/patent date marking is stamped on the upper tang, and the serial number is on the lower tang. The stock has a casehardened crescent buttplate with a hard rubber Winchester marked grip cap. It is fitted with a 12 groove pump handle. The 1890 was the first slide-action rifle ever produced by Winchester and was designed by John and Matthew Browning. It became one of the most successful rimfire repeating rifle for general shooting ever manufactured by Winchester and was used by trick/target shooters in the early 1900s. The rifle is accompanied by a "Winchester Highly Finished Arms" catalog by Doug Turnbull Restoration.
