Winchester 22 RF Sliders

[BRush]

Who likes Winchester side action 22 RF Rifles?

I do. Below are pictures of my small collection of Model 1890s, including, bottom to top, a 2nd Model in 22 WRF made in 1896, a Model 90 in 22 WRF made in 1915, a 22 Short rifle made in 1910, one in 22 Long made in 1909, and one in 22 Long Rifle made in 1927.

To add S&W content, pictured below with the Model 1890 in 22 Short, is a 1st Model 32 Safety Hammerless which was period converted to 22 RF.

Very, very nice!!!

I have one ugly 1890 in .22 short with a "stainless" barrel. It shoots quite well, but will never win a looks contest.

These little guns are workhorses that still kill squirrels just as well as they ever did!

Nothing that old but I do have my Great Uncles 62A. He sold/gave it to me nearly 40 years ago.

I have this 1890 that was customised before I bought it. Someone made it a PG with a cheek piece. Good wood and work. Since it was already molested I had the 22 WRF rechambered to 22 WMRF.

Very pretty rifles. They are my passion also.
