Product Description
1907 mfg. WINCHESTER “SHORT” Model 1906 Slide Action .22 Short RF Rifle C&R
Second Year Production of the .22 “Short” Model
Here we present a Winchester Model 1906 Slide Action Rifle, manufactured in 1907 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester Model 1906 was designed as a more inexpensive companion to the popular Model 1890. The main differences being the 1906’s flat shotgun-style butt plate and rounded barrel, as opposed to the 1890s crescent butt plate and octagon barrel. When the Model 1906 first became available, it was chambered exclusively for the .22 Short cartridge, however this was modified after serial number 113,000 (in the third year of production, 1908) when it was made to cycle .22 Long and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably in order to ensure the rifle’s continued popularity.
There were three different variants produced by Winchester which were the .22 Short Model, the Standard Model, and the Expert Model. The .22 Short Model was made until 1908, when the caliber modification came about. It was distinguishable by its flat, plain slide grip. The Standard Model was introduced after the 1908 change, and featured a grooved slide grip, while the Expert Model, the deluxe version, produced from 1918 to 1924, had a plain fluted slide grip and a pistol gripped stock. Although production ended officially in 1932, a small number of Model 1906 rifles were built out of spare parts left in the factory until 1936. The last known serial number is 847,997, which does not match the number of rifles sold. This is attributed to the fact that large blocks of serial numbers were skipped during production.
The overall condition is good. Some original finish with patina throughout. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with good rifling. The stock shows use and remains solid. Numbers match.
