10 Guage / Model 1901 Winchester

[Gogan]

I have an original Model 1901 in 10 guage and would love to shoot it. The barrel has been cut down to 19".

However I am very confused on what ammo is correct for this firearm. I have tried to research this on the web but that just raised more questions than it answered.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

What is the chamber length? Damascus barrels or nickel steel?

Mine was 2 7/8. I had some old Canuck #2s and 4s, it shot them well.

They are all 2 7/8ths inch chamber guns Gogan, but you can fire 2 3/4 ammo out of them as well, so long as it's 10ga. They are really cool old guns; I have one and love it. I found some ammo at a gun auction, but the real solution has to be loading it yourself, unless you have a backdoor to import some from the US, from whence it can be had online.

I am working on getting set up to reload it myself
