So I used new fibre vice guards on their own, these gripped and did not marks the pistol, these will now go away and only be used for this type of work. The gun was wrapped with a leather welding gauntlet to protect it from the vice yaws but it kept moving.

It is not difficult but because it is a well-made piece of kit you need to raise your game when working on it.There are stage by stage rebuild instructions on the net read them all.
#Winchester model 25 manual how to#
I have just resealed mine and thought it would be a good idea to write up things that you need to be careful of and how to do it right and not damage yourself or the pistol. This is some pointers and advice to those that will rebuild / re seal their Giss (model 6) system pistols at some time. Variants įield and Skeet variants are known to exist the main difference between the two is the addition of a Cutts compensator on the Skeet guns.With thanks to Chuck for the scans of stripdown articles by the great Dennis Commins and to George for his excellent tips arising from experience with stripping a model 6: The weapon uses a four-round tube magazine. As it was based on the Model 1911, the Model 40 suffers from almost all the same faults, such as splitting stocks when the fiber washers acting as recoil rings wore off causing excess recoil.

The Model 40 was heavily based on the Model 1911, but featured an actual side charging handle due to the expiration of Browning's patents. In essence, the Model 40 is a long recoil-operated semi-automatic shotgun, where the barrel and bolt are locked together when the bolt moves to the rear, with the barrel unlocking later on when a new cartridge is chambered a coiled spring brings the barrel back into battery after it fires. The Model 40s recalled by the Winchester factory were presumably disposed of, apparently through lining them up on railroad tracks and having them run over by passing trains. After stopping production of the Model 40, Winchester issued a recall of the firearm, although many owners of Model 40s did not take advantage of the recall reportedly, owners who did send in their Model 40s received not a repaired Model 40 from Winchester, but a Model 12 instead, along with a note telling them to "forget about Winchester making a semi-automatic shotgun", with Winchester converting most of their tooling for the war effort. With the firearm being commercially unsuccessful, along with reports of design flaws with the shotgun, Winchester decided to not refine the design further and stopped production the next year in 1941. However, despite Winchester's best efforts, the Model 40 was commercially unsuccessful, even more so than its predecessor, mainly due to a number of design flaws. The shotgun was introduced in Winchester's 1940 catalog.Īfter its introduction, Winchester attempted to sell the firearm through an advertising campaign the Model 40 was touted as being a streamlined design that incorporated a number of new features and was very smooth to operate. This new shotgun would be known as the Model 40. īy the 1930s, sales of semi-automatic shotguns by Winchester's competitors were booming this spurred Winchester all the more to create a self-loading shotgun that could immediately be competitive with other offerings from its competitors. The Model 1911 was not a commercial success with some 82,774 produced and made a name of itself as a design failure. The design heritage of the Model 40 dates back to 1911 with the Model 1911, Winchester's previous offering catered to the semi-automatic shotgun market, which was the result of attempts to sidestep as many of John Browning's patents he held on his shotgun as possible.
