It's time or some "modern" pics![]()
Mike, I thought I had some newer pics of this fancy M1890. But these appear to be old black & whites. I need to replace a broken trigger in that gun, and plan to re-photo then. Thanks, JimJim

Yes , First year production with a mirror bore and its a shooter too.Easily one of the best shooting .22 I have.Do I spy a savage 29?
Not a Taurus but an Interarms 62 octagon barrel with lyman tang peep. Purchased in early 90'sI remember liking the Taurus 62 so much I got one with a factory tang sight. An affordable alternative to a fine condition Winchester.
It is a rare day to see 5 pistol gripped M1890's in one picture! Send side views if you can. Would love to see them.View attachment 878138
I’ve always had a weak spot for pump rimfires.
A couple semi-deluxe and deluxe 1890s in various calibers, and some 61s in s,l,lr / 22 Mag / and a “For Shot Only”
I also have a half nickel 1890 in 22 short that I believe to be a legitimate gallery gun, but that one doesn’t fit in the cabinet.
And a savage 29-S for good measure:
