Project completed after 13 years
 

I have had a little project going for years and it is finally finished.
I did a upgrade of a model 90 Winchester to a deluxe with no. 8 engraving.
First, it took me a long time to find a 90 in .22 long rifle with a perfect bore.
I had a piece of black walnut that I had been saving and I had the wood done first, then I had the screws repaired and nitre blued.Then came a long hiatus. During this time I acquired the sight set that I wanted to use.
I have known and been friends with Angelo Bee since I was 14 and wanted to have him do something just for me so I got around to sending the gun to him earlier this year. Then I sent the gun for final finish and case colors.
I am very pleased with the results.

Beautiful Dave, well done!

Very nice, I like everything.

That's a beauty! Great choice of wood.

If I may ask, who did the case-hardening, Dave? Those colors are gorgeous.

The project turned out great!

I am pretty sure Justin Julian colored that gun.

Fabulous!

nicest one I ve ever seen...lucky you....charlie

If I owned that .22, I'd likely just give all my others away! Absolutely stunning. Perfect tang sight also.

That's fantastic Dave! That wood looks so much like the kind of wood that Winchester would have originally used on a No. 8 1890

Absolutely stunning !!!!!

Beautiful all the way through!!

Like you I've known Angelo a long time & finally had him engrave a couple Model-21 custom-upgrade guns for me. I will treasure these works of art forever and I'm sure you'll do the same with your Model-90.

Congrats on the gun it's outstanding in every way!!!
