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 A-Bolt II LA Rifle Review

Browning A-Bolt is a centerfire bolt-action repeating rifle first introduced in 1984 as a successor to the Browning BBR rifle model. The A-bolt series was upgraded in 1994 with the release of A-bolt II range. Some of the characteristics, including bolt and trigger mechanism, were modified, but the models retained their names. A-Bolt II LA is a long action version of the A-Bolt II series.

The rifle consists of a bolt with a small extractor, plunger-style eject, and three locking lugs that lock into the front of the receiver. Its barrel is free-floating, and the recoil lug is glass-bedded. The two-position safety catch is located on the neck of the stock, just behind the bolt, and readies the rifle to fire when pushed forward. The rifle was made in 3 versions: A-Bolt, A-Bolt II, and A-Bolt III. While the first two versions are very similar and feature the same mounting surfaces, the A-Bolt III version is a slight redesign and features different mounting surfaces. Browning A-Bolt is available in five different mounting surfaces:

A-Bolt SSA
A-Bolt Short (SA)

A-Bolt Short II (same mounting surface)

A-Bolt Long (LA)

A-Bolt Long II (same mounting surface)

A-Bolt III Short (SA)
A-Bolt III Long (LA)
