Your rifle is well within the known ranges of serial numbers for the 1906, which go up to 848,000. While production officially ended in 1935 (the Depression was not nice to Winchester or any other gun maker), there were enough parts on hand to make hundreds of thousands of the 1906 pump action rifle, and that is exactly what happened until the 1960s. Much like other popular firearms made by Winchester, 1906 rifles could still be ordered after they had been officially discontinued, and were marked like your rifle, "Model 06". In fact, until 1978 or 1979, you could special order a Model 12 or pre-64 Model 70, both of which had been officially discontinued 15 years earlier (the sale of Winchester to USRAC ended that).
