Chambered in .351 WSL, the Model 1907 uses a semi-automatic blowback action with a weighted bolt and feeds from a detachable box magazine for a 10+1 capacity. Its forward under-barrel cocking plunger is a hallmark of the design and provides the characteristic manual charging method for the series.
The 20 in round barrel is nickel steel and is rollmarked "Nickel Steel Barrel – Especially for Smokeless Powder." Additional barrel-top rollmarks carry the Winchester manufacturer and patent dates, underscoring the rifle's period-correct features and production heritage.
Sighting equipment includes a small blade front sight set in a dovetail and a barrel-mounted folding leaf open rear. An adjustable tang-mounted aperture sight is installed, offering a refined sight picture while retaining the rifle's traditional open-sight setup.
The rifle has a walnut straight-wrist stock with a smooth forend and a checkered steel buttplate bearing the Winchester Repeating Arms logo. Length of pull measures 14.0 in. The receiver is steel, and the rifle incorporates the takedown construction typical of the Model 1907 for transport and maintenance.
Made in the United States in 1911, this example represents Winchester's early self-loading rifle lineage, pairing its period-correct markings and features with the included Model 1907-pattern magazine.
