    Yeah, that doesn't make sense. I'm gonna see what the latest date is on mine.
    I also read in the winchester info ,you were only suppose to shoot what it said on the side of the barrel --..22 short shot .22 short ,so on and so forth . so that rifle said .22 LONG RIFLE , but the box of ammo he has pictured is .22 Long

    Yeah, I'm confused. Mine shows patent dates of June 20, 92. Dec 5 92 and Nov 27 08.


    Why would they put an 08 patent dates on a rifle built in 06???

    Wonder if the list of manufacturing dates is wrong???

    Mine says .22Long, but this rifle has been shooting .22LR forever.

    Each model 1890 would only shoot the shell made for that gun.
    This picture shows the relationship of size between the .22 caliber
    shells. From the left: Short, Long, Long Rifle, Long Rifle Bird Shot,
    and WRF (Winchester Rim Fire) - also referred to as .22 special

    I'm :scratch:ing my head over what you're talking about??? :)

    Patent dates on barrels not matching publish manufacturing dates.

    Example, my Winchester 1890 serial number was built in 1906 according to Winchester published dates, but has a 1908 Patent date on the barrel.
