Those that want to participate - I am collecting information for a data base for the Model 1910. I need the full serial number; whether tang markings end with 1910 or 10; whether barrel address ends with 1906 or 1910; plain or fancy; front sight make and type; rear sight make and type; other information like sling swivels, recoil pad and brand, inscribing/engraving, stock replacement, other factory options or non-factory modifications, etc. There wasn't alot of change to this model in the brief time it was made but it will be interesting to see the survival rate and how people added options from the factory or after they received the rifle. My impression is that folks added factory avaiable or aftermarket sights more than anything else. Your name will not be used.
My email is lindly1907@gmail.com
thanks!
John

Hello all,
Many of you may be new to this "research Survey" concept and skeptical of participating as a result. I have been working on two similar surveys for the Winchester 1892 lever action and the Winchester Model 61 slide action .22 rifles. The 1892 project has been going on for more than 8 years now and I have catalogued more than 12,500 individual rifles. The Model 61 effort is about 5 years old and more than 5800 rifles are listed in that effort. It is ONLY by compiling these encompassing data sets that we can possibly learn anything about what was "typical" or common. or rare for any particular firearm. This is the first long time consuming step necessary for any good reference book that is worth using to guide you i with your collecting hobby. I urge all of you to help John out and supply him the data and photos of your rifle so that he can be successful in this undertaking. You can visit the Winchester Arms Collectors Association forum and take a look in the "Winchester Research Surveys" sub-forum to find out about many of these ongoing efforts and the discussions and information which result from them.
And if you also happen to have an 1892 or 61 I will be more than happy to answer any questions you might have.
All the best John Michael

Up to 90 rifles. There will be a slight delay in searching the internet for new entries because I have to go back and try to obtain photos for all of these per a good suggestion from Michael.

Up to 166 now. Not as many as I hoped for in two years of data gathering. In this small sample there is very little variability. The modifications seen appear to be from owners adding front and rear sights and/or a recoil pad. There are only 9 factory fancy/deluxe models. There are a few others with fancy wood but these are replacements.

Sorry guys. Been a tough year or so. Back to the 1910s. I have 190 guns registered. Still little variability as I mention above. 10 fancy or deluxe not counting the few super engraved, gold highlights guns like the one owned by King George V that was up for auction for stupid money recently.

I've got two model 1910's both marked Mod. 1910 SL on the tang, the last patent date of October 30,1906 on one made in 1910 and July 5, 1910 on the one made in 1912 according to Winchester. Serial #40xx and #83XX.
The 40xx has sling swivels installed with what I call normal rear long dovetail leaf sight with the lifter. The front sight is a raised dovetailed with brass bead.
The 83xx has a standard raised front sight without a brass bead, the rear sight is the smaller flip down dovetail. This one also has a second rear sight, a Williams peep mounted on the left side of the frame and has 8 more plugged with screws on the left frame where it may have had a larger or side mounted optic.
Both have matching serial numbers on the side of the left lower frame and the trigger housing group.
Now you got more to add to your story...if you find any .401 magazines...I could use a couple.
