There is a really nice Model 1901 version of the lever action Winchester shotgun in the upcoming RIA May auction --
https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/85/11/winchester-model-1901-lever-action-10-gauge-shotgunWhen I was a teenager, I enjoyed the books about folks a generation earlier opening up the wilderness in northwest British Columbia --
Grass Beyond the Mountains,
Nothing Too Good for a Cowboy &
Rancher Takes a Wife by Richmond P. Hobson and
Three Against the Wilderness by Eric Collier. Eric Collier also wrote some articles for
Outdoor Life. His shotgun was a Winchester Model 1901. In the 1916 Winchester catalog the big W states the Model 1901 is "particularly well adapted to duck and wildfowl shooting." The standard barrel was 32-inch full choke.
