Pictures of 1890 Winchester Receivers

 


Pictured above is a first model version of an 1890 Winchester rifle.
Note the absence of any take down screw, and the two pins in
the lower part of the receiver, to disassemble the gun.


This is a second model 1890 Winchester. It has an identical breech bolt
mechanism as the first model, with the addition of a take down screw.


This picture illustrates the third model gun. The breech bolt and receiver
were both changed in this version. The notched receiver accepted the
newly designed bolt to produce a stronger and safer locking mechanism.
 The take down screw was retained.
