when did browning manufacture winchesters
Shown is an original Browning Single Shot rifle. This rifle was made at a small factory set up by John and his Brothers in Ogden, Utah, in 1878. After a run of approximately 600 rifles, the license to build the rifle was sold to Winchester Repeating Arms and it became the famed Winchester 1885 Single Shot. It was the first and last production Browning rifle manufactured in Ogden. Photo courtesy the Cody Firearms Museum.
