JFK’s Model 70 in .243 was still being finished when he was shot. The 94 was owned by President Eisenhower.

Looks like an old and worn 1873 and that it is. But this one was owned by Buffalo Bill Cody.

Buffalo Bill’s 1873 was not your average Winchester. His had a smooth barrel for shooting shot for tricks in his wild west show.

Buffalo Bill’s hat!

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the company, Winchester is making a couple of commemorative editions. The guns look sharp. If you’re looking for a safe queen, these two guns may be ideal. We got to see them first hand at the show. They’ll be available soon, and only for this anniversary year. There won’t be another until the 200th anniversary, so act now if you want one.

It’s called GLOBALIZATION, and it is what is destroying The America I once knew as a young man. It is hollowing us out, turning us into a third world country right before our very eyes. Personally, Winchester was still Winchester, as long as they were at the New Haven plant, regardless who owned them. The rifles and shotguns there were still made by the same employees, on the same machines, at the same plant. The difference was for collectors to split hairs over. But not now. Now they make the greatest rifle ever made in Portugal, and the iconic Model 94 is now made in Japan, what a sacrilege! I’ll never buy one new until the brand comes home {not necessarily to New Haven either. The union there brought this on it’s self}.
Could not agree more on American Made!! Daniel Defense, Colt, Kimber, Remington, Henry, Ruger etc.. get my money.
GREED thats all it comes down to
who will be the next AMERICAN ICON to sell out
Winchester ? Didn’t they get bought out several times over the years, Olin, US Repeating Arms,F.N and others ? The name Winchester has become a sales slogan. Who’s making this Winchester ?
It’s being made by some Chinese guy living in Viet Nam and will be exported from Taiwan by a Japanese company….
Seriously, Winchester is no longer an American company. They use the name but it’s really not a Winchester.
I didn’t know that . That’s ashamed .
I FIRST noticed that the 101 was being made in Japan in 1968; when I was stationed in Germany. I WOULD NOT BE CAUGHT DEAD WITH A FIREARM MADE IN JAPAN.
You will find that Japan makes most of the industrial machinery (CNC machines & controllers) for machining in the U.S. So even if Winchesters were made in the U.S. they would be made with Japanese machines.
If you were in the Pacific during WWII you might be dead because a firearm made in Japan caught you! 😉
