So, I was given a Winchester model 190 yesterday by my Dad. My uncle (his brother-in-law) gave it to him a couple of years ago. My dad didn't shoot it at all and my uncle didn't clean it at all. Ever. I'm not exaggerating.
The 190 is the budget version of the 290 which was designed after the first Winchester bankruptcy. It looks purty, but doesn't have the checkering and a few other niceties of the 290. I've read everything from "It's the most accurate and reliable semi-auto ever" to "It's the best looking tomato stake, ever!"
It's the only 22 that I have at the moment so I'm going to definitely shoot it after a good cleaning. I'm just looking for any experience that anyone has with them regarding ammunition finickyness, gotchas, or anything else I need to know about them.
