This video explores a rare prototype Winchester Model 1905 Self-Loader chambered in .45 ACP. It highlights the unique feature of this early semi-automatic carbine being designed to accept standard M1911 pistol magazines. The prototype, built around 1919, never reached production, likely due to Winchester's focus on more powerful cartridges for the hunting market at the time, where pistol-caliber carbines were not yet widely popular. The video thanks the Cody Firearms Museum for granting access to this significant piece of firearms history.
