Very cool! I almost took the one we had in stock home with me. I've toyed with the idea of doing a Hyman Lebman style conversion.

Here you go. I picked it up at the Howard County Show. The seller said that the manufacture will also reload it for you if you send them the spent brass.

Awesome. Thank you! :thumbsup:

There was someone offering those HL conversions a few years ago. Interesting historical variant, but mine is going to stay as pictured.

Thanks. That's a lot older than the vintage ammo that I have. Mine is probably from the 60's.

I have a Model 1905 in 35wsl that was the wifes grandfathers. Factory ammo hasn't been in production since the 50's.
They made the 351wsl because the 35wsl was too underpowered.
Picked up dies and boolits but have to modify some .38 sp brass to make the cartridges. Have half a box of factory ammo but don't plan on shooting it, corrosive.

Just a heads up, Graf's has ammo in stock for the 351, don't know the quality and it's not cheap but if you need it. It is 50 round box.

Bringing this old thread back to life.

I just picked up a Winchester 1907 SL, manufactured in 1916. It came with four 10rd mags and one 5rd mag.

Very very nice piece! probably makes you wanna sell off all of that NFA junk to focus on C&R treasures

Cool find... that is one that is still on my covet list. Well done!

I'm still looking for the right one.... I came across an old police "laboratory Style" hard case for one complete with slots for the mags. I've never seen another one like it!! Very cool.. Just waiting for the right gun... I want a police issued preferably police marked gun..

That would be a VERY COOL find!

Yep very cool and would be a simple reload like pistol (non bottle neck) How much do they go for out there in the collectors world?
