TheWinchester Model 1910 (also known as theModel 10) is a blowback operatedsemi-automatic rifle produced by theWinchester Repeating Arms Company beginning in 1910 with production ending in 1936. This rifle is fed from a 4-round capacity, detachablebox magazine located immediately forward of thetrigger guard. Winchester only chambered the model 1910 in the.401 Winchester Self-Loading or .401 WSLcartridge.[1]

The basic design for the Model 1910 is covered by *U.S. patent 681,481 issued August 27, 1901 and assigned toWinchester byThomas Crossley Johnson, a key firearms designer for Winchester. This patent was initially used to protect the design of therimfireWinchester Model 1903, but came to be applied toward thecenterfire Winchester Self Loading rifle series, which includes theModel 1905,Model 1907, andModel 1910.[2]

Variants

[edit]

In addition to the standard or "plain finish" model, a deluxe or "fancy finish" model was offered with checkering on the forearm and wrist of thestock. The plain finish rifles were offered in 1910 at a list price of $30.[3]

World War I Orders

[edit]

 French Third Republic

Winchester factory records show an order placed in 1915 for 150 Model 1910 rifles, spare magazines, and 25,000 cartridges of .401SL ammunition by the firm of Andre, Schaub & Pioso as an agent of the French government. A subsequent December 7, 1917 order of 400,000.401SL cartridges is believed to indicate additional Model 1910 rifles were acquired by the French Republic through other means.[4][5]

They were carried by aircraft observers to ward off fighters, a step between pistols and dedicated aircraft machineguns. They were later gradually replaced from 1916 onward by the.351-caliberWinchester Model 1907s. The Model M1907 rifle won out because it had been adopted in larger numbers and because it was also adopted by Britain'sRoyal Flying Corps andRoyal Naval Air Service.

 Russian Empire

Winchester records show orders of about 500 Model 1910 rifles by the Imperial Russian government dating to 1915 and 1916. Further details are not available regarding orders of .401SL.[4]
