My new acquisition to go along with my plain 1910. I got this cheap as there are some modifications. Some might have been done at the factory but without the records we will never know. Let’s just say that things like Lyman 41 receiver sight, Lyman rear flip down leaf sight and front ivory bead sight were offered. The round disk in the bottom edge of the butt stock has initals engraved that were probably factory. The initals on the left side of the receiver and the name etched on the right side were not factory. The recoil pad is a Winchester pad but the patent date is 1922. The rifle was made in 1914 so probably not added by the factory unless at a later date. The wood is fancy but probably the 1st grade of fancy; it has some figure but not breathtaking. A member shared with me that probably on average 3 percent of each model is non-standard or fancy. That would make for 600 or so of model 10s. I am just beginning to accumulate records for these rifles – I have 86 so far and about 5 percent are fancy. I suspect that more of the fancy survived than standard but I will need more data. I’ve got 4 of the 1907s too. There is something about these models that appeal to me. Thanks for looking and if you own a 1910 and haven’t contacted me, please do.

I know these old dogs don’t get much love, but they are kind of neat. I have one also of 1914 (I think) that looks to be in unused condition. Most guns I pick up around here that are 100+ years old look like they are 200 years old.
Nice old rifle.I have a Model 07 and a Model 63 ,which are both pretty much the same design as the Model 1910 ,only smaller.:)
They are special. I need to get some modern made ammo to shoot them until i can get set up for reloading.
If you haven’t already sent me your information on your 1910. Then i need the following: full serial number; whether tang markings end with 1910 or 10; whether barrel address ends with 1906 or 1910; plain or fancy; front sight make and type; rear sight make and type; other information like presence of sling swivels, recoil pad and brand, inscribing/engraving, stock replacement, other modifications, etc. My email is [email protected] – i would appreciate a photo too but if that makes you nervous then the data alone would be greatly appreciated.

Nascar fan,
Nice looking rifle! Based on the photos this is a model 1907 .351? Were you going to send info on a 1910?
Best,

John, this is my only 1907/1910. Always thought of them as the same only different caliber. I’m sure there are differences other than that, just never researched them.

Charles,
I think the 1907 and 1910 models are just sized up versions of the 1905 model? Someone who knows more will hopefully correct me if I am wrong. Right not I am most interested in the 1910 model but I really like the 1907s too.
Best,
John

Of the self-loaders, the .401 had the redeeming quality of being powerful enough for deer or black bear. We’re talking short range/brush work of course. The .351 would marginally work on deer. But the .32 and .35? What were they good for? And if you’re a handloader, forget about finding those little casings in the grass. And if you’re not a handloader, ammunition hasn’t been available for a lot of years. I realize in recent years, there are small custom loading companies that do manufacture them but think how many years there have been since the major ammunition manufacturers stopped making .32 and .35 ammunition. And as a handloading possibility, we are talking very oddball brass and bullet sizes. As someone mentioned earlier, not a lot of love for these rifles. Must be why I like them 😉
I’m actually glad there isn’t a lot of love for these rifles. Keeps them reasonably priced for those of us that can appreciate them. Steve004, do you have a 1910 to add to the survey?

Sorry – I no longer own any of the centerfire autoloaders.
Ok. If you meet anybody who does own a 1910 then please give them my email – [email protected]
Thanks, John
