Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 1906, manufactured in 1920, is a classic American pump-action rimfire rifle designed for reliability, affordability, and fun. Chambered to fire .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle cartridges interchangeably, this versatile little rifle was a mainstay for small game hunting, target shooting, and informal plinking throughout the early 20th century. It features a 20-inch round barrel with a dovetail blade front sight and adjustable rear sight, allowing for precise shot placement across varying distances. The rifle is finished in blued steel, offering both a period-authentic appearance and basic corrosion resistance. The smooth hardwood stock and distinctive ribbed forearm provide a solid, comfortable grip—hallmarks of the Standard Model variation that emerged after Winchester began chambering the rifle for all three .22 rimfire lengths in 1908.

The Model 1906 was introduced as a more budget-friendly alternative to the earlier Model 1890, with simplified features such as a flat shotgun-style buttplate and a round barrel in place of the more ornate crescent butt and octagonal barrel of its predecessor. These refinements reduced production costs without compromising function or appeal. Its pump-action (slide-action) mechanism is fast, smooth, and reliable—qualities that endeared the 1906 to generations of shooters, especially young marksmen learning the basics. The model was immensely popular, with over 729,000 units produced between 1906 and 1932, and a few built from parts through 1936. This 1920-manufactured example falls within the golden production years and represents a tangible piece of Winchester’s legacy—durable, mechanically sound, and steeped in history. With its charming blend of craftsmanship and practical performance, the Winchester 1906 remains a favorite among collectors and vintage rimfire enthusiasts today.
