It was popular then and that popularity has carried over to modern day collectors.The Junior Trapshooting Outfit was featured on the cover of The Winchester Record (Dec. 17, 1920). This was a bi-weekly magazine published by the Winchester personnel department.

It has a strong, simple action and is of the single shot break-down type. The stock is a beautifully finished product of the pistol grip style and has a remarkably fine fit and "feel." This gun is light, easy to handle, and has almost no recoil, so that it can be used with absolute safety and pleasure by women and children!"
