I have a Winchester Model 1890 Pump Action Rifle chambered for the .22 WRF
Serial Number: 255xxx , from what I can tell, a Second Model, manufactured: 1905
On most (probably all) second & third models I've seen, the take-down screw is large slotted, grooved-edged "thumbscrew" that sets higher than the surrounding surface area. Mine is a recessed screw that otherwise fits and looks correct. I'm assuming that, sometime in the last hundred or so years, the original screw was lost and that this one is a replacement. Were any Winchester 1890s, at any time ever produced using a screw other than the usual type described?
