The History of Browning

Browning Arms Company was founded in 1880 by the American John Moses Browning, one of the most, if not the most prolific and influential firearm inventor of all time, with the help of his brothers, in Ogden, Utah. A large portion of John Browning's rifle designs have been acquired and produced by other big-name companies, like Winchester, Colt, Remington, Fabrique Nationale of Belgium, and Miroku. Among his most famous guns produced were the 1895 Colt Peacemaker machine gun, the Browning automatic rifle, the .45-caliber pistol, a variety of .30- and .50-caliber machine guns used in World War II; and the Browning Automatic-5 shotgun first introduced in 1902 and still produced to this day. Beside firearms, Browning is also a manufacturer of various other products, such as gun knives, shooting accessories, bicycles, and clothing. In 1977 the Belgian firearms manufacturer Fabrique Nationale (FN) purchased the Browning Company. In 1987 the US Repeating Arms Company (Winchester) was purchased from its former owners. The Winchester brand (licensed from Olin Corporation) was acquired at the same time by FN. In 1990, Société Générale sold the FN company to GIAT Industries.

In 1997, the entire FN family of companies (including Browning and the Winchester) was bought from GIAT by the government of a Belgian region named Waloon and was renamed to Groupe Herstal.

Browning Erice Rifle Review

Browning Erice is an over-and-under break-barrel express rifle. It comes with the single trigger with inertia-type mechanism. The recoil energy from the first shot allows for the second shot to be available straight away. The safety latch which is positioned on the top of the action frame also functions as a barrel selector – it lets the user choose which barrel they want to fire from.

Erice barrels are made of highest quality, military-grade steel and are finely adjustable using a system of interchangeable spacers. This is an efficient adjustment feature patented by Browning. There is an integrated 14.5mm dovetail rail on the barrel of the rifle for a simplified scope mounting.
