Rather odd, now, that Russia is being considered as a manufacturing location for Winchester knock-off’s.

If you have ANY information, please contact me ASAP.

Thanks.

My first visit to this site.. Just surfing the net for information about my beloved Winchester rifles my in USA! I read all the e/mails and felt completed to respond to a good group of folks.
I see we all have something in common here beyond our beloved Winchester Rifle made in the USA! We also share a love for our Country and actual care about one another too. I told myself you found what you where looking for Billy. Don’t see it yet, here are a few remarks I read that make me feel sad about the Winchester cluster bomb and good about the fact I am not alone in my thinking….we need jobs too…make them in North America and the real tear jerker for me was from Mr. Ernie Mutschler- 10/4 Ernie it’s is all true and that’s the short line around the barn… we need rifles we can afford to use as well as hang on the wall.. 10/4 copy that! Funny, I understand everyone’s meaning with no effort at all.
As for me, I have a few Winchester rifles. I use them and hang on the wall too. I have given many to family for gifts. I always hunt and shoot with American Made firearms and to do so is challenging these days. I am an American country boy from Wisconsin by way of Southern Illinois. My Daddy was a Army Sergeant. He saw combat for 2 years during the Korean War wherein he shot communists and they shot and wounded him. Communist shot my Uncle Earl too. Basically, I hate communist leaders and will never believe/buy into anything they have to say/sell. It’s is simply not the truth & a copy. What does this have to do with Winchester, well guess who help produce the ammo for the war(s), the addition contracts for weapons and other needed supplies. Right Winchester made in USA. Along with Colt, Remington, Springfield Armory, Savage/Stevens, Ruger during the 1970’s. And a few I do remember… Hey, have you every looked up how many American “non-firearms” company’s made the Colt 1911 during WII. Exactly. So, where is the American Leadership that should so be fighting jealously for our fellow Countrymen’s rights, liberties, justice, products made in the USA and pursuit of happiness? I don’t know. But, I believe it’s amongst us here as it has always been.
Anyways, I will never but anything from the foreign business folks that whom currently own the Winchester name. Because to me that name means something entirely different then it does to them-you all know what I mean. To those business folks(communist) it’s all about the money and zero about the American & the American worker. They only care about getting your hard earned dollars.
I know this problem of is bigger then me, but I can offer my dream solution. . Don’t buy any Winchester guns- none of them are made in the USA. That .22 bolt is a pile. Support the USA made firearms/ammo companies. Ruger, Marlin, Remington, Colt?, Horandy, Federal, Olin..etc.. These folks offer everything you need to Get-R-Done and it was made here at home 95% of the time. The same goes for American made knives. Most hunters buy knives so you know what I mean. Old Timer/Schrade/Uncle Henry are now made in China. Camillus 1867 went out of business this year. Watch out for the name brand trick’em thing, because it is usually the Communist Wolf in Granny’s dress try to sell you the American dream.
If we all make an effort to buy only American products and it is measurable difference. Well that is the same as telling China get off my land varmint. We do not need your stuff. And it we only make our Country stronger in the long run. Think about it and do what you can American folk. God bless the American Armed Forces and the U.S.A. Remember the good folks that died for our freedom. . Thanks for your time, Billy.

I guess that the Wini name continues on in the way of used guns. It would seem though that if the factory stock cleared out as fast as they say, it should’ve been an indication that there is still a demand for these guns. As they say, its good for collectors because the price goes up on the guns they already own, but for us guys that actually want to use them instead of just hanging them on the wall, we don’t want the price to go up. We can only hope that the 94 will come back into production at some point in time from somewhere in North America. We would love to have a factory of such up here in Canada, as we are sending all of our manufacturing production of every kind to Mexico. We need jobs up here too.

Oh, by the way, I bought my 39a Marlin 22 for $150 back in 1978

Those foreign guys are probably going to build some decent guns and have someone stamp “Winchester” on them.

It’s like building Harley Davidsons in Nagasaki, Japan with the seats made in China and the electrics made in Korea.

By the way, some low-life SOB broke into my house in in 1998 and stole my precious Model 94. In 1970 I paid $75.00 for it at a hardware store.
