    Does anyone know where I can get the complete breakdown instructions for the Winchester 1890 pump .22 rifle. Also I beleive that I saw a recipe for stripping nickel plating on one of these boards some time ago. Does anyone know what it is. Thanks

It has a checkerd rear stock and a nickle inlay with initials in the heel of it. Fully nickle trimmed including the butt plate. The barrel is blue. The ser # is76XX The overall condition is about 97-98%.Never touched or restored. Does anyone know the approx. value of this 22? Also it has a proof mark that is a circle in a circle on the bottom of the front of the receiver. Thanks for any help.Len

    Can you suggest a commercial source to acquire a box of 100 #10-36 X.342 or longer plug screws. This screw is used in Winchester 1890 where it is known as the Peep Sight Plug Screw.

    Hello

    I have bought an old 1890 in pretty good shape (.22 short). I have two issues with it:

    1) the pump does not cycle (pull back) unless the gun is level horizonatally. Is this some sort of safety device or is there a problem?

    2) The gun hangs up on occasion. There is a significant amount of wear and mangling around the opening to the chamber, although the gun is otherwise very tight and in good condition. What does this mean? (if anything)

    Can anyone help here?

    thanks

    Jim

    Nope, gunsmith thread, Grainger wouldn't have it.
    +1 on Jim Grueter for any Winchester screws, if he doesn't have it, odds are you ain't going to find it.
