Love the Winchester .22 Model 1890 pump action gallery gun with the lovely octagonal barrel -- or is it a Model 1906?

Back in the day, my first rimfire rifle was a similar and second hand Model 62, replaced at a later date by a Browning "trombone" action .22 (no external hammer) and later still a state-of-art Remington Nylon 66 -- great days!

You are right it is a Winchester model 1890 in .22short , the top one is a Marlin model 1893 in 32-40.
Both rifles are considdered antiques in Holland and free to own without a licence.

Some lovey antique guns there, it's nice to know others collect both airguns and antique ones.

I bought a nice little Rossi Mod 62 Gallery rifle due to its compact 16" barrel and simple takedown features which make secure storage easier. It will feed either .22 short or .22LR without any problem, but I have found no difference in results out to 25yds. It's great fun to shoot and I just love the sound when the pump action is racked. One feature which I wouldn't necessarily recommend is to keep the trigger held back and continually cycle the pump handle which results in very nearly semi-automatic firing rates.

That is very tasty little rifle Brian.

I am quite a fan of pump actions and would love to get my hands on a .22 lead ball 30 shot CO2 repeater by Shark (Argentina)
