Description
Time after time Browning came forward with the right design for the right time. Some of them changed America forever -- especially the early lever actions and pumps he designed for Winchester Repeating Arms. Some change the world -- like this contributions in military rifles like the .30 caliber machine gun, the 50 caliber M2 " (ma deuce, as it is often called), the 1911A, the BAR and many others. Beyond firearms he lived an amazing life. As the son of a Mormon pioneer (who incidentally happened to be a gunsmith and fine designer in his own right) he made Ogden, Utah the center of innovation in firearms design for over half a century.
