so I'm sittin' at my dad's house today, he says, "hey, look what I found way back in the closet."
According to this website, it's a Winchester Standard Model 1906 in .22 Short, Long, and Long Rifle, with 12-groove slide handle:

I checked the serial number at this website, which only indicates the rifle was made after 1934:

The bluing is incredible: deep and rich and clean and clear. Obviously my dad never had this rifle out of the case very often.
Here's some pictures, I hope the links work:

Hi Carl,
That looks like a nice 06 Winchester.
I have one, but it is no where near as good a condition as the one your Dad has.
Mine shoots really well and is just a fun little rifle.
Take that one out and shoot it - you will be in LOVE.

I love mine as well. The finish condition was so bad I had to have it bead blasted and reblued. Yours is absolutely beautiful. It will really shine with an original Lyman #2 tang peep.

Very nice. I do have a question though... just how far back does your dad's closet go!?
Re: OT - an old Winchester Standard Model 1906 pump .22 rifle
Not very often do you see one, with that much original blue or the gumwood stocks in such nice shape.$$$$
Real nice!
I had the tang sight for it up to about 4 weeks ago. You want either a Marbles stamped "W9" or a Lyman stamped "WS". Repro mounting screws can be bought from Joe Hulett, at www.aperturesnmore.com.

mklwhite,
it's not that the closet is so deep, it's just that my dad's 92-year-old mind isn't so deep as it used to be. I have no idea why he was poking around in there .... and he can't remember either.
On the other hand, 2 months ago the magic closet offered up an old Iver Johnson single-shot .410-gauge shotgun.
Cheers,
Carl
