About the Winchester

In the year 1866, more than 150 years ago, Oliver Winchester left a significant mark on the history of rifle-making when he founded the Winchester Repeating Arms Company with the intention of producing exceptional guns and ammunition. Oliver Winchester, “a man of vision and influence,” as many considered him, fulfilled his intention and built an industrial empire around the lever-action rifle. Sporting a polished brass receiver, the Model 1866 “Yellow Boy” lever-action rifle was the first gun to bear the Winchester name. Fast forward a few years, to 1880, Oliver Winchester died at age 70, but his legacy remained. The Winchester Model 1892 lever-action rifle soon proved itself to be the moviemaker’s favorite, while revolvers chambered in .38-40 Win., .44-40 Win. and .45 Colt were also well received.

Winchester helped pave the way for modern-day rifle manufacturers, and their decades of experience and craftsmanship can also be seen in their high-quality ammunition. They offer a variety of ammo for handguns, rifles, shotguns, and rimfire rifles. Today, the Winchester brand is owned by the Olin Corporation and made up of numerous members who are devoted to the maintenance, collecting, and learning about Winchester rifles and related products, as well as the role these products held in shaping the history of America’s firearms.
