'''Winchester Repeating Arms''' was an American manufacturer of rifles and shotguns. The company was founded in 1866 by clothing manufacturer Oliver Winchester and was originally known as the New Haven Arms Company. The company got its start manufacturing the [[Henry 1860]], one of the first mass-produced repeating rifles. The company reorganized in 1866 and was rebranded as Winchester Repeating Arms, with its first product being the [[Winchester Model 1866]]. | |||
Winchester Repeating Arms would go on to produce the famous [[Winchester Model 1873]] and a number of other iconic small arms, like the [[Winchester Model 1897]] shotgun and [[Winchester Model 70]] bolt-action rifle. After a long series of financial difficulties, the Winchester company was sold to employees of its New Haven, Connecticut plant and rebranded as the US Repeating Arms Company, but this company would go bankrupt in 1989. In the same year, US Repeating Arms and the Winchester name would be bought by the Herstal Group, owners of [[FN]] and the [[Browning Arms Company]]. Today, firearms under the Winchester name are produced by both FN and the Miroku company of Japan. Winchester-branded ammunition is still manufactured in the US by the Olin Corporation. | |||

Winchester Repeating Arms was an American manufacturer of rifles and shotguns. The company was founded in 1866 by clothing manufacturer Oliver Winchester and was originally known as the New Haven Arms Company. The company got its start manufacturing the Henry 1860, one of the first mass-produced repeating rifles. The company reorganized in 1866 and was rebranded as Winchester Repeating Arms, with its first product being the Winchester Model 1866.
Winchester Repeating Arms would go on to produce the famous Winchester Model 1873 and a number of other iconic small arms, like the Winchester Model 1897 shotgun and Winchester Model 70 bolt-action rifle. After a long series of financial difficulties, the Winchester company was sold to employees of its New Haven, Connecticut plant and rebranded as the US Repeating Arms Company, but this company would go bankrupt in 1989. In the same year, US Repeating Arms and the Winchester name would be bought by the Herstal Group, owners of FN and the Browning Arms Company. Today, firearms under the Winchester name are produced by both FN and the Miroku company of Japan. Winchester-branded ammunition is still manufactured in the US by the Olin Corporation.
