Well, two questions:
#1: Does it matter which way the buffer cylinder faces?
#2: I got the buffers from Numrich today (I bought 2). One single buffer seems to be the exact thickness to fit in the cylinder. With the cap on, there is a small gap between the cap and the cylinder rim. Is that the only location of buffers, the inside of the cylinder?

One buffer will work fine if there is a visable gap when the cap is on tight .I try to have the cap facing the spring similar to the 1907 .Looked around before and haven't found ant real good info on the wsl rifles ( I did turn the buffer assembly around on the pic I posted ..oops didnt notice till I saw it in the pic )

Winchester Model 07 Self-Loading .351 Caliber: Its Past and Its Future with Modern Brass, Bullets and Powders by Leonard Speckin. www.forgottenweapons.com/book-review-winchester-model-07-self-loading-351-caliber/I bought this book last year and flipped through it last night. It actually has a cut away photo of a .401 Self Loader at the Buffalo Bill Museum in Cody, Wy. It looks like the cylinder cap is facing towards the spring (as you said) which is good, because that's how I installed mine and I really really do not want to turn it around. Thanks for all the info. I'm ready to fire this bad boy up soon.
