the ONLY difference in the so-called Winchester Police Rifle & a standard, plain vanilla, Model 1907 (.351WSL) or 1910 (.401WSL) was a straight 10 round magazine.
I'm pretty sure there was a special police model with enhancements such as a thicker stock. Winny also offered a cool as hell package featuring an 07 and 97 riot, in a takedown sized case that fit both, with pockets for the 10 rounders and loose 12 ga shells.

Thanks for the great info on the 15 and 20 rd mags. The 20's were made by the same co.?

FBI did use the .351. Cowboy Doc White center punched Slim Gray with one, and pumped rounds into the house where Freddie (and Ma) Barker was killed. Either Clarence Hurt or Earl Connelly arrested Karpis without incident once an 07 was levelled inches from his face. For a few examples.

Nice collection Predator, I'm liking it too, how bout some pics. I saw that .351 on GB, looked nice. The two guns you're looking at, I'd say would be the only two glaring omissions to your heist loadout. You can find Model 11's cheap. Clyde had them in 20 and 16 gauge in the Whipit configuration, believe he left the 12 ga. Spl Police or Riot length in 12 ga. or cut down to same. Hope you like your 07, they're normally sweet shooters, fast firing, just how I like 'em. There are places online, custom mfg. loaded ammo. Found some for my .401 (advertised as 200gr/2000fps) at about 2 bucks a round, they had .351 as well. Never got around to ordering though and recently had to sell the rifle.

Did you like Public Enemies?
