I haven’t watched one of the sell before, interested in what it brings, but I can’t imagine a nicer one. Pretty cool!

A “nicer” one would have the original WJRC ammo boxes, the one on the auction has repro boxes. 
I have a bid on it but would have bid another $8000 higher with 4 original ammo boxes.

Yeah, at least they listed that concern. Still…to have that much with it is pretty cool!

I agree, pretty cool – most kits do not have the “hard” stuff to find.
And, I applaud them for listing the ammo boxes as repro, they are very well done and I had to look close at the pictures to see that they were in fact reproductions.

As hard as these are to find, it seems easier to grab this one and add to it, with a few of the hard to find pieces, if one wanted, rather than pay that Auction price!

Does this one have all of the proper paperwork? I don’t see the 1 piece that was in the Orange Coast Auction?

This one is missing the target package as noted in the description and a few other paperwork bits as well.
The paperwork included with the Carol Watson auction is not included in the kits, it was provided separately.

Hi Larry,
Your 1902 did not come from a WJRC kit. Winchester specified a special sight for the 1902 and the 1904 included in the WJRC kits.
