This video explores a unique modification of the Winchester Model 1907 Self-Loader, known as the Lebman Conversion, popularized by Texas gunsmith Hyman Lebman for notorious 1930s gangsters like Homer Van Meter and John Dillinger. The conversion involved shortening the barrel, adding a Cutt's Compensator, and fitting a Thompson submachine gun vertical front grip. The video discusses Dillinger's arrest and the confiscation of two such rifles, expressing interest in examining them, particularly for any full-automatic conversions. It then showcases a reproduction of the Lebman-style 1907 from Bull Creek Arms and references a C&Rsenal video for more information on the original Winchester 1907SL and its WWI use.
