Rare Winchester Thumb Trigger Bolt Action Rifle

This rifle was a modification of the Model 1902 without a traditional trigger. The rifle is fired by depressing the trigger with the thumb which is part of the sear and extractor located behind the bolt. Standard markings and features including "THUMB TRIGGER MODEL" and 1899 and 1905 patent dates marked on top of the barrel. Fixed sights and one piece straight grip gumwood stained stock with a black hard rubber Winchester buttplate. Winchester sold approx. 76,000 of these rifles between 1904 and 1923.

ConditionVery fine. The barrel retains 70% original blue with the balance a smooth brown patina with strong original blue in the protected areas around the rear sight and along the edge of the stock. The stock is excellent with a few minor dings and dents. The markings are clear and crisp. The action is excellent. This is one of the finest Winchester Thumb Triggers we have offered!
