full auto 45 Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 I just sold my 1910 about three weeks ago. I have had 1907's and 10's for about 15+ years. At one time I had 10 of the 1907's and three of the 1910's. I have never seen a magazine larger than the 10 for the 1907 or the standard 5 for the 1910. I have photos of the last 1910 somewhere on another computer. I'll look at it and try to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim c 351 Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 John,Congratulation on your find.Where on earth did you find?? If not on earth , then what planet ??Is there any mark on it to indicate British made. The British not only used the 351 to arm biplanes , but also used the 401. I noticed the lanyard loop on the floor plate which would have been a nice feature for airplane use. Look forward to watching a video of you blasting away with the 20 rd mag. Here is the info you requested,Winchester model 1910 serial number 13,846.Tang,--Winchester0 trade mark0reg us pat offmod 1910 slbarrel ends with 1910front site is small tapered post---pat nov 02rear site elevator marked feb 1901Hope this helps,Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
levallois Posted March 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 Jim, Thanks for the kind words but it is not mine. Was auctioned in missouri a few years back. If i would have seen it then I would have done my best to win it. Your thoughts that it might be British is interesting and would explain the darn thing. Other than an unknown rifle used by the Dillinger gang, yours is the best explanation so far. Your 1910 info is in the data base. I'm asking for photos because that is what the guys over in the Winchester Collector forum said they did with their particular models but I know it makes people nervous. If you want to then please send one - it will be permanently linked to your gun. If not, no hard feelings. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HANS Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I have started collecting information on 1910s to create a database for Winchester Collectors and came accross this. Imagine a 20? Round magazine with .401s at your disposal? Awesome find, very cool! I've been after info on extended magazines for the Model 1907 and Model 1910 for a long time. Did you check the actual capacity by loading it? The Model 1910, while not as popular as the Model 1907, did have a decent following among gangsters in the 1930s, documented sightings including with the Barker-Karpis and Dillinger-Nelson gangs.

jim c 351 Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Ron,Another beauty, congratulations.Do you realize how close the 35 rem and 401 WSL are in power?? With the 200 gr bullet the 401 is only 100 fps slower than the 35REM.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im hoping to get both to the range nice it warms up a bit. Ive had the 1910 for several years now, but havent taken it out and enjoyed it yet.
