I cant find a 32 wsl magazine im considering buying a 35 wsl or 351 wsl magazing and trying to convert it to 32 or using it to 3d model and then 3d print a new magazine. So my question is are the 1905 and 1907 mag bodies and magwells interchangable? Also the reason im asking about the 1907 mags is because the repro 10 rounders are a third the price of any originals ive found so far

I don't have a 1905, but John Henwood in his book, "The Forgotten Winchesters" says that the magazine for the 1907 is similar in size to the magazine for the 1905, but they are not interchangeable. Which makes sense. The .35 WSL cartridge looks to me like a shortened version of the .351, so I would think it might be easier to adapt a 1905 magazine to a .351 than the other way around.

I just swapped magazines around and this is what I found: The .351 did fit in the .35, and it did fit the .32, but not so well in the .32. The .35 did fit in the .351 and in the .32. The .32 mag did fit in the .35 and .351. I'm thinking that the .35 mag might be fitted to the .32. I did not try with dummy rounds. Each mag has been with their rifles for a long long time, so they've "fitted" to those rifles. I can take some pics nd measurements if you want.

I don't know if the 35 or 351 mag can be made to work in the 32slr. I have seen them on ebay and other sites before. I have even seen a few 10 round mags for sale. Externally they would be the same size and for reasons unbeknown to me some of the 32 mags are not marked. Good luck.
