RARE Winchester Model 1902 WINCHESTER JUNIOR RIFLE CORP RANGE KIT. ''The Winchester Junior Rifle Corps is an organization formed to encourage marksmanship among boys & girls not over 18 years of age, also to teach the safe handling of a rifle. It combines all the fun of shooting with the encouragement of high skill in marksmanship & good sportsmanship. For kids, it encourages the strong, normal instinct for a rifle to find expression in a useful, character-building way.'' Early advertising indicates this Model 04 Range kit sold for $12.95. Despite the membership of the Junior Rifle Corp reaching over 100,000 at its height, relatively few of these kits were sold & far fewer survived, which makes them very rare today. Included in this kit is a Model 1902, CAL: 22 SHORT, LONG, EXTRA LONG. SN: None. MFG: 1902-31. The Model 1902 is take-down, single shot bolt rifle. 18'' round barrel. The original wood stock is excellent & solid, with very minor blemishes & contusions. The original metal finish has thinned to a brown patina, with remnats of original blue. Barrel markings are very good. Bore is excellent. The barrel carries the original sights. Winchester marked rubber buttplate. ''S'' shaped trigger guard. Overall appearance & original condition is very good, which is uncommon amongst these early models. The rifle comes stored in its original dark wood case, with the original ''WINCHESTER'' painted on the lid. ''WINCHESTER'' is still strong & clear, with some flaking, but examples of these kits rarely retain this much of the painted name. The hinges, clasps & leather handle are all functioning & excellent. Inside this kit comes (4) Full Winchester Smokeless .22 SHORT shell boxes with modern printed outer labels.Also included is an original tube of Winchester gun grease in its original cardboard sleeve, a tube of Winchester rust remover in its original cardboard sleeve & an empty Winchester green painted label can of gun oil. With the kit is an original canvas belt, with brass buckle engraved ''WJRC''. Kit has three WJRC/NRA shooters medals or pins. The kit also includes a plethora of rare & original papers & brochures, Including: a WJRC Membership Certificate, Rules of the WJRC booklet, a Winchester .22 caliber Rifle & Ammunition Booklet, a set of Official 50 ft. Targets in the original envelope & typed letterdescribing the range kit & WJRC. Also, a few modern reprints of WJR info. These Range Kits are difficult to find in any condition. This is a very complete set, in very high condition & with lots of additional WJRC accessories & papers. This is your opportunity to own a very rare kit, & one of the best & most complete kits we've sold .* FFL or C&R Req - Value: 2000 to 4000
