Old Winchester takedown 22 Short long octagon barrel

[magnumwheelman]

got an oldy coming up possibly on my sell list #3 for Gun Broker

long octagon barrel tube magazine looks in decent shape, tube magazine needs cleaned of old lube turned lacquer... don't remember the model off the top of my head... late 1800's... sorry... & it is a pump action

in general, is there still interest in these type rifles??? the stock has had a couple chip outs repaired long ago... crescent butt plate, rifle seems solid, & may be shootable after the lube lacquer is removed out of the action... I'll be cleaning it up for sale in the next couple days... could put a few pictures here... just trying to gauge if it'll sell well on Gun Broker, or if it should go to the Gun Show table list...

Thoughts???

barrel is long... 22-24" so it may or may not be a gallery gun like is pictured in the link

I own an 1890 like yours, a predecessor to the model 61 which IMWO is the most beautiful rifle JMB ever invented. They are fun, safe, quiet, and a piece of history. Here's what Turnbull does...

To answer your question, yes there is. There's even a counterfeit market for certain ones. Old Winchester 22's are a favorite of mine.

Definitely worth putting on GB, I’ve got some older Remington and Winchester 22lr guns as well and they move pretty well.

It's Winchester, it's 22lr, it's pump. What's not to love?

Cool. Have one of these in my closet minus the wooden pump. Bought at an estate sale for 20$.. With the original canvas bag Don’t even know if it works

ADMIN... please remove this thread... if you're removing my list # 3 for the next Gun Broker auction, out of the the Lounge section for fear I'm selling off this forum, you may as well remove this thread as well...
