Yes Dean, your model 90 (1890) would be much nicer than a M67: your 90 would be a pump action, outside hammer, tube magazine, octagon barrel and crescent steel butt plate. Similar to my model 62A in the above pictures. Your M90 shortened for a boy or make it more like a carbine. Originally, the 1890/90's had 24 inch octagon barrels.
Chief Roundsworth - you're right. That "WINCHESTER SUPER SPATTERPRUF rim fire cartridge is specially designed for use in shooting galleries. The bullet is specially compounded to disintergrate into fine particles and dust on striking a metal target or backstop in properly constructed and maintained shooting galleries . . ." according to the back panel on the box.
They are much lighter than a standard .22 Short and look different: 24.5 grains for the gallery short vs 38.3 grains for the standard .22 Short according to my powder scale. Likely that dense clay material that Bill Murphy describes?
