These questions and comments about Winchester rifles sounds a little like one about Mausers, not to mention M1 rifles, 1911 pistols, Lugers, and so on. Is a Mauser made by FN any better or worse than one made by Mauser in Germany or a Springfield made in the US? Or any different beyond the little details? When was the last Winchester lever action designed? Fifty years ago, or whenever the Model 88, I think it was, came out.
