Winchester Boy's Rifles
I found this nice little 02/1902 at Tulsa last weekend. It is in exceptional condition with good blue, wood and condition. It came with the canvas carry case. It is one of many models based on the original John M. Browning's patent 1900. I collect boy's rifles.
Here are several of the 1900 series rifles. From the top two 1902s, Browning's 1900, Thumbtrigger, two 1904s, and bottom a model 58. The 58 was Winchesters attempt at a economy rifle with no butt plate and a flat stock like a board.

Even though I'm a girl lol I love the boys rifles and bought my first here on GunBroker. It's a J Stevens Little Scout .22 and little it is.

A good friend of mine let me shoot one of his old Winchester thumb trigger rifles a few years ago. Having before never knew of such a trigger system existed. A fun gun and a great learning experience for me!

Here is a picture of the Thumtriggers action. You pull the knob to cock the rifle and it engages the sear on the thumb piece. To fire just depress the thumbpiece.

As ar as I know that was the only model made with the thumb trigger. The reason they're so scarce in this country most were sent to Australia. They were popular as rabbit guns. A lot of these little rifles ended up there.

I guess this is a boy's rifle.........my first gun. Winchester 1906. Got it as a Christmas present from my dad when I was 12. The year before he passed away from cancer..........1980. I won't ever get rid of it.
