5/28/2023 0 Comments Winchester model 1907![]() I was able to get new ammo for all of them, some in stock, some 3-4 week lead time. Inside were a bunch of letters back and forth between Henwood and a collector that I haven't had the time to go through yet, but I'm sure will be interesting.Īll in all if you get a chance to shoot one, they are pretty neat guns for the time period. In skipping the creek this year I spared a few hours at a LGS and scored the book. I didn't shoot any of them when they came in since with all the issues it's doubtful any of the them worked since a couple appeared to never have been cleaned in 100 years. ![]() ![]() All got some degree of restoration and all now have fiberglassed forearms which will avoid any future problems. Most had buffer issues, one broken recoil spring, and various other issues. All 4 had cracked/ broken fore stocks, one was in three pieces. I will say these things are kind of addictive and seem to pile up? Most of them seem to need work, or at least the ones I bought. There is a rather noticeable weight and balance difference between the two guns as well since the bolt weight on the 401 is a lot heavier. 32 is very tame, but the 401 packs a punch and went through some heat treated steel plates that the 32 would not penetrate. They are all pretty similar but for that type of gun it's not a big deal IMO.
