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. For more on Winchester's glories, rough patches, and everything else in between, check out this feature segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV.
