It’s right up there with it’s cousin , the .401 win.
Probably about 1905-7 introduction.
It is a semiauto rifle- If you’re based in India- no go for semi auto rifles
Import - not allowed for this category of firearms.
Obsolete cartridge - no reloading possible in India
Put up an ad in national papers. And spread the word with local dealers.
May I ask why?

Here is a youtube analysis of the Model 07 351 Winchester Self Loader:



Here is an analysis of the Model 10 401 Winchester Self Loader:



These episodes, part of a large series of weapons used during WW1, are very well done and researched fairly deeply. They aren't your usual internet rubbish.

Hunters 41,
This is one YouTube video from India on the same. Maybe you can get in touch with the gentleman in it to find out more about it.

It's not impossible to get this rifle in India but buying this rifle doesn't make sense considering that fresh ammo is not available and old ammo extremely difficult to come by and also very expensive.

Ammunition availability will be an issue.
