Winchester 1906 Mod .22
 

Can anyone direct me to an appropriate website where I can get more information on a Winchester .22 I am trying on Wiki-answers but I don't think I will get much.
Serial 578304B pump action manufactured 1911 onwards - also have a long story of it.

WG dog,
Thanks, I now know that it is a Standard 1906 model, made in 1919 The value according to their scale is about $400. Cost me 10 bucks to get the info!!
If I had to pay the Lugerforum specialists for the info on my 1911 Luger, it would have wiped out all of my wealth

Piet,

I wish that I hadn't posted the link now, did not know that the site was going to ask for payment at the end for a valuation. Thought it was a site showing the 1906 variations, without charge. Sorry!

Gene

Noooo problem!! Showed the variations for free and dedermining wich one you have. Its just for the manufactured year and the valuation that one has to pay ---- and it was my choice.
Thanks anyway.
Regards, Piet
PS What do you pay for a beer in the US?

About $7.50 for a six-pack of Fat Tire and other New Belgium Brewing Company brands at the grocery store.

About $4 a bottle for Dead Guy Ale at a local restaurant.

There are cheaper and more expensive beers....

How much for a beer in your country?

In South Africa, about R6 a beer on a special for month-end. Divide by 10 to get $. In a restaurant, about R8 to R12 depending on the brand.
To get back to official Forum business: It cost me 7,6 US beers to get the information from Winchester - according to mr WG dog

I don't have a Winchester 1906. What is the story on your 1906? Do have a Winchester 1890 .22lr, made in the 1930s.

:cheers:

Story
 

The Winchester was with it's owner on the horse cart. The rifle was positioned near the wheel. The cart hit a stone in the road, and the rifle fell into the wheel's spokes. It broke the stock, and the shot went off and killed the owner.
My grandfather bought the rifle on the auction for 5 bags of yellow maize. My father's older brother repaired the stock with pieces of leather and nails. The mechanism was repaired as well.

Story continued
 

My father is currently writing the story about the .22 and I expect to have it soon. My father was also shot by this same little devil, but luckily not a serious wound.
In the mean time I made a new stock and pump-grip from an indigenous hardwood from the bushveld. My first and only rifle stock. I had to remove rust, and reblued the rifle myself. (First and only)
Hope the Forum will allow photo's of American weapons!
Piet

Nice wood stock! Looks like African mahogany or maybe sapele.

Tree wisteria or Vanwykshout in Afrikaans. Bolusanthus Speciousus. Heavy 930kg/cubic m. Scarce and not commercially available. Tree number 222 of our National tree list.
Withstands thermites and woodborer.

A copy of this carbine was made in Brazil from the 60s until early 2000s.
It was made by Amadeo Rossi, the manufacturer of the .44 WCF Puma, a clone of the Winchester Model 1892.
