I wanted the Lyman sight, and was going to strip this Winchester 06 for parts.  It ended up being a pretty nifty little rifle.  Quite a few photos of what can be done with a pretty badly corroded rifle in the link.  It was a mess.

Weren't those the old gallery and carnival 22's? My dad gave me his when I was a youngster and now my kid has it but I think it's a 61A, not sure. Sweet and fun to shoot.

Nice work!!
It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

Sarcasm: The ability to insult stupid people without them realizing it. 

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

Yes.  What you likely have is a 62a.  Same basic rifle, coil mainspring, larger fore end and walnut stock are the primary differences. 

Fun to shoot.  You don’t say.  Here’s the deal on that, I can take fifteen or twenty rimfire rifles to the range with kids of all ages (even older than me) and turn them loose.  By the end of the day they are going to have these 1890, 1906 and 62a rifles and will go for hours.  I might have semi auto, extremely accurate match rifles, beautiful single shots, bench rest rifles.  It doesn’t matter.  Hang a bunch of wiffle balls from para cord and it’s just more fun than ought to be allowed.
