Looks like it's shootin pretty good to me.

Oh it shoots quite well for what it is and for being 97 years old.

Hi,

Range update. Well, she shoots. Definitely not a target rifle but i wasn’t expecting that out of s something called a “gallery gun”. The target is a 5-round group off a bag at 20yds. The spent 22 casing is for reference.
I also learned that the stock is not original but came off a Model 62. Winchesters slide action rifles (1890, 1906 and 62) have several interchangeable parts.
View attachment 76629I replaced only the firing pin stop and the screws that hold it in place along with the elevation screw on the rear sight, which was missing.
Fun rifle to shoot and is mechanically sound. That’s all i could ask for. I am happy with it.

That looks pretty sweet! I think it would be great for teaching the grandkids.


Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

The 1906 was considered a “boys rifle”. It was smaller than the 1890, a good size for beginners.
