The year 2016 marks the 150-year anniversary of the Winchester brand. In the beginning, to know Winchester was to know Smith & Wesson because Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson brought the idea to the table to what would eventually become the Winchester Repeating Arms Company. This week ARTV takes its first in depth look at its rich history.

Also this week, we evaluate the LWRCI Di 5.56x45 mm NATO Carbine
, and then for “I Have This Old Gun” we cover the very accurate yet dangerous Canadian Ross Rifle designed by Sir Charles Ross. Watch a preview of tonight’s episode above.
