Well it has been a long time, but I finally got my modified 1905 up and running in a match this weekend. I have been very pleased with it's performance lately, from 15 to 25 yards at the match to even eventually getting shots at a gong at 200 yards when I was sighting it in.
I bought a spare barrel that I found online, a previous owner had cut 3" off so it was a good price. I then relined the spare barrel with a .357" bore liner, I then reamed the chamber for 38 special. After months of tuning on the TripleK magazines and the ammo it has been running the new cartridge perfectly, the all new 3
8SL. I found a tang sight for it on ebay for a rear sight, and I had a compensator made, modeled after a Thompson Cutts compensator, for a front sight. It kind of has a Hyman Lebman conversion vibe to it now. I still have finishing work to do as you can tell by all the in-the-white metal. I still have the factory barrel and magazine so it can go back to stock if I wanted to, but I doubt I will. Being able to shoot a Winchester Self Loader for pennies a round is awesome.
