This feature segment from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV explores the extraordinary life of John Moses Browning. From his savant-style beginnings—making his brother a gun at the age of only eight years old—to his (honorable) expulsion from high school at 15 for knowing as much as the teacher, to the designs which make his name a mainstay in the home of every firearm enthusiast, Take a step back in time with the experts at American Rifleman, and watch the full segment here.
