Jeff, bittersweet seeing the 1890. That was the 22 hanging on our kitchen wall back in the day and was the rifle I learned to shoot and clean. A couple of problems: it had so many rounds through it that it was almost a smooth bore. The more serious problem was the sear was so worn sometimes it would allow the hammer to fall as you closed the action. I tried to adjust the sear but eventually had to retire the rifle for a tube fed bolt action. The 1890 was so light and just the right size for a kid. Unfortunately it was lost in a house fire in '77.
Thanks for the memory.
