In this second installment of Winchester 150, the ARTV crew takes viewers past the well-known heyday of Winchester cowboy-action rifles, and into its vast array of contributions in the late 19th and 20th centuries. From the beloved Model 1897 shotgun, to the innovative Model 1895 lever-action, which operated without the traditional tubular magazine, to the trend-setting Model 1905 auto-loader, this video explores the changes in design and manufacturing that either bolstered or wounded this classic American brand throughout the years.
