Re: Winchester m1910 in 360 Dan Wesson

The WSL rifles are interesting in that there are no stamped parts in any the firearms works ,the mag is hydroformed from one piece no weld seam.Follower is machined with a front roller pinned in place.

We rebarreled a total of 5 in different calibers to see if it could be done ,the projecte were all to far gone for any worth while restoration .In excellent condition they sell for 700 to 900 it appears now and restoration costs well over that .

We made 2 in the 360 Dan Wesson one with a new barrel and one with a 351 barrel and there is no difference with accuracy or fps over the crony.Had to add a ramp to the mag follower to feed rimmed cases,reduced the breech block weight to cycle properly .The DW is the same across the crony as the factory 351 wsl ,only advantage is that it will shoot store bought 357 magnum if need be at lesser volicty.

the other abominations are a 44 auto mag on a 1910 ,and in 1907s a 30 carbine and 338-223 short .At the end of the day there are no advantages over the original chamberings except for a set of unique rifles that I have that others won't due to time and cost .
