My brother was the one who got the guns - until my 12th birthday when Dad gave me my Grandmothers .22 rifle. It is Winchester model 1890, second version, manufactured in 1894 according to the serial number. At some point, the original rear sight was removed and a flip-up tang mounted peep sight installed. The front sight is still there and doing its job just fine.
With the rear peep sight, it is a little tack driver ... if you can find ammo for it. It's chambered in 22 WRF ...... It is still in beautiful condition!
