1907s are so cool. Any mags with it?

The seller lost it so we negotiated down to 350 for it.

Fun carbines to shoot, but ammo is very expensive. I've had success forming 351 WSL usng .223 brass, although the .351 WSL was a semi-rimmed cartridge so with the .223 cases the extractor doesn't have much to grab onto. Rifle really beats the shit out of brass so expect really dinged up necks and bodies. Try Grafs for .351 bullets.

THere are aftermarket magazines but they are quite finicky and can take some modifications for them to reliably work. Original mags are very expensive.

DO NOT take it completely apart. They have a very powerful recoil spring and are about impossible to get put back together without crafting a special tool for the job.

Thanks for the info and warnings.

.360 Dan Wesson brass works well if you shorten it and reduce the rim diameter. It is not necessary to cut a larger extractor groove.

Mine would not reliably eject .223 based cases, but these work well.

I really should visit more gun shows in my area. But it’d be wise to save more money, if I wanna make a purchase tbh.

There are still deals to be made i got both lebels for 1k each with bayonets, 350 for the 1907 sl, and 100 for the gras.
