According to your Winchester 1894 thread http://forums.GunBroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=245213, the last Model 1894 made in that year was serial #1674.
Ironically, it's for sale on the auction side: http://www.GunBroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=338175100
I just thought you might be interested in seeing it.

Thanks [:)]
instead of relining it. Machined down a Marlin barrel, dovetailed it,
etc. It has a serial # 190997. Believe it had a oct. barrel before.
A fairly beat gun but useable. Was it a 1890? Also have a '06 Winc.
# 726201 in good shooting condition which I use continually. Are any
barrels (original) left for the older one, even in poor condition?
Would like to restore the old one back near original even with relining.
Two questions:
I've never owned or used a external adjustment scope like this, anything I need to know about adjustments, maintenance, etc?
What is the working chamber pressure for this rifle?
( Still waiting on those pet loads [:)] )

Bert,
Could you please give me the manufacture dates on these Winchesters.
Thank you,
Robert Reeves
What is involved with that.[?] I am asking because i have one that i think could be 7th calvary.
Local dealer has one that i would say is in 60%+ condition. No rust or pitting, But a lot of blue wear around the reciever. Serial dates it 1955.
He wants around 500 for it. Is this a good deal.
He is like talking to a live Winchester encyclopedia. I learned more in the brief time we had together about 1885's than I have in my entire life. What a fine gentleman, and so willing to share his hard earned knowledge with others.
My hat is off to him and the other experts who contribute to this terrific site. I learn something every time I log on to it.
Keep up the great work!!!

Sorry I couldn't get over to your table at the Gun Show due to a last hour flurry of business.
Looking forward to getting a copy of your Winchester book with great anticipation.

12 guage worth?
bert im guessing you are awinchester man.
If it had an octagon barrel, it was a Second Model 1890. The Model 1906 was only made with a round barrel. Original Model 1890 barrels can be found, but the vast majority of them have poor bores (which is no problem if you intend to reline it). The first thing that you will need to determine before finding a replacement barrel, is which specific .22 rimfire cartridge it originally chambered for. The cartridge carrier on the Model 1890 was made for a specific cartridge only (e.g. 22 Short, or 22 Long, or 22 WRF only), and it will not function properly with other size catridges. I am curious which cartridge you shot in it after rebarreling it?
Model 1890 serial number 190997 can be researched through the Cody Firearms Museum - http://www.bbhc.org/firearms/records.cfm. A factory letter will tell you exactly when it was made (approximately 1904), and which cartridge it was originally chambered for. At the time it was produced, Winchester only made them in 22 Short, 22 Long, and 22 WRF (the 22 Long Rifle was not introduced in the Model 1890 until 1917).

Whenever I see a cow eat grass, I am reminded that "This too shall pass."............ Baxter Black
action and it fed them o.k.. So maybe its another 1906 and not a 1890.
Besides, it aint in the greatest shape, usable but "pretty well used and
then some". Possibly at todays prices for these parts, maybe I should just "part it out". Now the other one, a 1906 is a great rifle which shortly will go to my grandson.
If it feeds all three of the standard .22 rimfire cartridges with no problems, it was either originally a Model 1906, or someone installed a 1906 cartridge carrier in a Model 1890 receiver. Does it have visible locking lugs cut into the frame? Is there a "B" under the serial number? Regardless, I suspect that it is a Model 1906 (based on the butt plate, and the cartridge carrier). An original barrel can be found with diligence to restore it to some semblance of originality.
