gotta love a free rifle...OT
well, sometimes a guy just gets lucky
i buy and sell trucks and bikes to help with bills, ect, i picked up a 92 Ford F150 PU at the last Police auction, they have a sign thats says, you get everything in and on the cars, dont leave your trash!!, iv found ammo, cash, tools, you name it over the years,
well, i found my first rifle, a Winchester M1902S.L in .351Win, so i call my Cop buddy and have him run it on the hot sheet, it clears, and its now mine. a little worse for wear, rusty, and a scope, but hey,,it was free.

During WW1 France bought alot of Winchester Model 1907 rifles and some Model 1910 in 401 cal. The French even developed an assault rifle and cartridge by necking down the 351 to 8mm after WW1.
You can make 401 brass from 7.62x39mm Russian brass.
