Can any of you Winchester aficionados tell me more about my recent addition? Serial number indicates 1901 manufacture. Caliber 32-40 with a 22" barrel and 2/3 length magazine. A website I use describes a "light weight sporting rifle" with these characteristics but states that model had a shotgun butt. As you can see, mine is the traditional crescent. It is not marked "nickel steel". I am a collector of interesting shooters, so I am unconcerned with market value. But history is part of the shooting experience. I have dies, bullets, and brass is on the way.
