RIFLE". Cal. 22 WRF. S# 558381A. Bbl. 20". Standard configuration for Model 1890 rifles would typically consist of a 24" barrel, however it is widely known that Winchester would regularly manufacture firearms to non standard specifications via special order. Winchester did produce at least one 1890 with a 20" barrel that we are aware of (S# 55074). Winchester ledger records are not available for Model 1890s of this vintage and as such we cannot definitively confirm the original configuration however it appears correct.
