.32 and .35 Caliber 



Model 1905 Self Loading Rifle 



HIS rifle is a six shot hammerless take-down, made in .32 and 

 .35 calibers. It is the first rifle of the Self Loading type 

 made for center fire ammunition, the cartridges it handles 

 being of the modern smokeless powder type, using metal 

 patched bullets. The .32 caliber shoots a 165-grain bullet 

 and gives a velocity of 1400 foot seconds and a penetration 

 of 11 % inch dry pine boards with a metal patched soft 

 point bullet. The 35 caliber shoots a 180-grain bullet and gives a veloc- 

 ity of 1400 foot seconds and a penetration of 10 7/% boards with a metal 

 patched soft point bullet, at the standard testing distance of 15 feet 

 from the muzzle. As these figures show, both cartridges give excellent 

 penetration, and with metal patched soft point bullets they have great 

 shocking effect on animal tissue. As its name indicates, this rifle is self- 

 loading. The recoil of the exploded cartridge ejects the empty shell, 

 cocks the hammer and feeds a fresh cartridge from the magazine into the 

 chamber, leaving the rifle ready to shoot upon the operator's pulling the 

 trigger. The operation of this rifle should not be confounded with that 

 of machine guns, which reload and fire to the extent of their magazine 

 capacity without stopping after the trigger is first pulled. In using the 

 Winchester Self-Loading Rifle, it is absolutely necessary to pull the 

 trigger for each shot, which places its operation as completely under the 

 control of the operator as that of any repeating rifle. The self-loading 

 system permits rapid shooting with great accuracy, and on account of 

 the ease and novelty of its operation adds much to the pleasure of rifle 

 shooting, either at target or game. The list price of the standard rifle of 

 this model is $28.00.
