The front sight is a Winchester globe, and the rear sight is Mid-Range vernier. They were somewhat common on the Model 1885 Single Shot Rifle, especially the higher grades. What do you think is a fair price for the pumps as they sit? Once again, thanks.The butt plate is the "Swiss" type, and the butt stock is also the "Swiss" style cheek piece. I will definitely reach out to you for advice on TLC for the ones I decide to keep. Someone hogged out the grooves on the pump wood.

There is a hairline crack in the fore-end. Most of the finish is gone and it has some light pitting. What do you think it is realistically worth?Ĭaliber.
Also probably going to be a bit expensive for something that will sit in the safe. I am looking forward to my kids being old enough to shoot it. I am having a hard time pinning down a value so I am thinking about going with a auction house I would like to keep it for myself but I think it will be a bit more money than my wife will let me throw at it. Right now it has a centerfire breach block in it but I have the original in a bag in my safe. If you want those other Winchesters dated, post them here:

If you want help with that, feel free to shoot me a PM. Wrong way and the gun will be worth more as parts, right way and you'll add a chunk of value. There's a right way, and a wrong way to do it.
The rear ring should have a tube retaining pin going cross ways through it, and lines up in a groove on the tube to hold it in place.Īll in desperate need of some TLC though. Your 1906 from what I can see in the pics, has the mag tube support rings reversed. If it had a tang sight, you can see see the shape of the sight base in the upper tang finish. Some times the wood to metal fit is sloppy, or the wood is just popcorn fart dry, or.it was a longer screw for a tang sight. The end of the tang screw has been filed off, and I can't see the top tang. Loading port is the correct size for the 22 Long. If so, needs to be fixed before shooting. Looks like the chamber edges have been dimpled in from a dry firing? Hard to see though. 2 Long lifter if you want to put it back original. So it's good to go with shorts and longs. It has a 1906 cartridge lifter like I suspected. It was made about the third quarter of 1907, The B suffix was for a production change. It has been sitting in the back of the safe waiting for a restoration. I also have a 1906 that I picked up for free. I have not tried to fire it, just chambered a round. 22 long is hard to come by and pricey when you find it so I am not sure what I want to do with it. It is in kind of rough cosmetic condition and. I will get great deals on anything I buy. The rifle is basically part of an estate and I am trying to decide what I want to buy from the estate vs what I want to pass on. I will try to get out to the shop and take some pictures tomorrow. I have not rechambered it but do not know if it was rechambered. Pic of the cartridge lifter from a side/front angle. Pics of muzzle and chamber to see if it's been relined.

22LR, lets see if it's been done right.Ĭan you post some pics for me, and the serial # for a proper DOM? RANGER295, The fact that it'll feed a LR, leads me to believe some parts have been changed. The ones I've seen were parts clean up rifles. There are some 1890's made after 1906, that were. 22 LR, and the lifter would feed the S, L, and LR. The Model 1906 had the faster twist rate for the. The twist rate was for the Short and Long. 22LR anyhow, accuracy would probably be about minute of barn door. The twist rate on the 1890 was too slow for a. Not a good thing to do in a 100+ yr old rifle. When you chamber a LR, the bullet is right up against the rifling, no free bore to speak of, and causing a quick pressure spike. 22 Long and Long Rifle, are the charge, and bullet weight, the case is the same dimension.
