Winchester Model 1902 Thumb Trigger Rifle

I ran across this video by MidwayUSA showing the Winchester Model 1902 Thumb Trigger .22 rifle. This was made in the early 20th Century as a boy’s rifle. The video nicely explains how the rifle works including a close up of the mechanism.

It looks like it wouldn’t be too difficult to make one of these on a mini lathe and mill, and you could get by without the mill as long as you had a drill, some files, and patience.
