Winchester 1907

Atom242
How do you get the first bullet into the chamber? There is nothing on the outside of the gun to do anything with.--Called self loading.

    I was hoping I could get some help from a Winchester expert. I have a first year production 1907 with what appears to be a factory installed Lyman 41 sight. The barrel dovetail is filled and doesn't appear to have ever had a leaf sight installed. Also, the serial number is stamped on the triggerguard. The bottom corner of the frame where the number is normally stamped is covered by the receiver sight. When I removed the sight to clean it, I found there was no serial number under it. My question is, would this add much to the value of the rifle and would it be worth getting a Cody letter for it?

    thanks for any help, Tim

    Hello Atom242...

    This comes from personal experience... DO NOT try to take your Model 1907 completely apart!

    I made that horrible mistake once many years ago on my Model 1905 35 S.L. (same exact action as the 1907 & 1910), and it ended up costing me $100 to have my local 'smith put it back together, and he was NOT very happy with me[V].

    All that you need to do to clean it, is to take it down (with the big knurled screw on the back-end of the frame), and then clean everthing that you can get to easily.
