Dean, Model 1890s have always held a reserved parking place in my heart. I've had many and plenty of the '06 also, but the 90 seems more refined. I have one in WRF also, and it is one of very few long barreled ones (can't even remember how long it is.) I couldn't refuse the crazy offers I was getting and sold my fixed frame 90. The idiot who bought it had it "restored" including CC (by a well know name who ought to be ashamed of himself). It was hideous
I have a fair bit of WRF is you need any.

Cody wasn't able to letter my fixed frame. Something about missing years. Since only the first 100 or so were fixed frame, seems to me it wasn't real hard to figure out the year. Their letters are obscenely expensive, especially when compared to PGCA

Dean I am no authority on guns I was into Winchesters heavy and forget alot I read if I dont keep up on them. You guys are to blame since the word Parker came into my world, I think a letter is a $100 .00 unless someone could find a true fault, I would invest in it .

I would be more than happy to releive you of as much WRF .22 ammo as you're willing to part with. I understand Black Hills makes the stuff but I'd rather help you if you need to sell yours. Please name your price.

Please tell this neophyte what a "fixed frame" Model 90 is.

Non take down .

The thumbscrew on the left side of the receiver enables you to breakdown the rifle for cleaning or transporting.

Steve Huffman 03-04-2012 09:26 PM

Dean you can get the ammo at any show they made a huge run of it .

I used to have a Model 90 in .22 Long Rifle. It was a very sweet shooting and extremely accurate rifle. When I owned it the gun did in a bobcat and a coyote from my front door in CO. It also did in its share of rabbits and squirrels for the pot and a large rattlesnake also near my door. Your Model 90 is a beauty and should be a tremendous shooter. I think with the rarity of your Model 90 whatever the Winchester letter costs will be worth the price. Many fakes abound.

Nice gun. Definitely unusual with the short bbl and tang sight. I'd have snagged it also. The old Win .22 pumps are getting very expensive, even the 62A's. My favorite shop in Anchorage picked up a .22 collection of 200+ guns recently, predominantly Winchester pumps and some incredible specimens. There were a lot of mod 90's in many configurations, but none like yours Dean.
