After Browning & Winchester had a falling out, Browning worked with FN. Except for the Remington Model 11 & some machine guns, no true Browning firearms have been made in USA since then.

Hello Ed. Policy of the Wyoming State Museum is we do not do appraisals. Especially in this case as the Winchester is in the collection of the Old West Museum. I recommend you do a search for similar models on GunBroker, GunsInternational, or other online sales or auction sites. Be prepared for sticker shock.

Hi Evan. Outstanding model this 1886. J.M. Browning was really a genius. A repeating rifle chambered in powerful cartridges to modernize the previous 1876 model. Great choice. God Bless. Happy Trails.

Between wars (both US and European) and the westward expansion in the US, firearms development literally "exploded" in the 1800's. The various ideas tried are fascinating.

Indeed. 1873 saw the Colt Single Action Army, the .45-70 Springfield Trapdoor Rifle and Carbine, and the Winchester Model 1873 in the new .44-40 caliber. Also the transition from flintlock to cap lock to breechloading to repeating firearms.

I'm excited to find your KZbin channel. Great content and presentation! I watched your videos on the frontier knives and the Krag-Jorgensen rifle. Looking forward to the others you've donel. I hope to visit the museum soon. I was in Cheyenne in June, but didn't know about it. By the way, the 1895 with heavy recoil is the .405 rather than the .401. As I write that, I wonder if there may have been a .401 back in the day. .405 is the largest caliber now. I hope you keep digging through the museum inventory! It must be a treasure trove of amazing artifacts! It's such a great opportunity for a museum to reach out to the public beyond its walls to people that may never cross its threshold. Best regards, Evan!

Hi uk resident here. I have a Marble knife, handed down from grand parents, maybe even great grand parents. Origins unknown but I believe from the time of WW1. Got info stating it may have been made 1914. Has had the tip broken but very well repaired. Very fond of it but unfortunately we are unable to carry it in the UK. Still, takes me back to my childhood where I was told never to touch it as I used to sneak to the drawer where it was kept. Anyway just a little story...

Knives back then were typically not as hard as many of the ones being produced today. Nobody had DMT or Fallkniven diamond stones and they had to sharpen in the field. I would bet they hardened their knives in the low to middle 50's HRC.

Also true in the United States. Some say the .44-40 killed more deer than any other cartridge. I would probably vote for the .30-30, but an interesting opinion. The .44-40 was step up from its predecessor the .44 Henry rimfire.

@@evangreen9430 My Dad owned a 30-30. I suspect the reason was largely economical in New Zealand. I imagine a Winchester 94 in 30-30 would have been a lot more expensive than a 44-40. By the time the latter were out of fashion the 303’s started to show up anyway

What a great piece! At Ft. Wise Colorado during the Civil War, a small Confederate scouting party was caught near the fort. A soldiers journal stated that the rebel party had old .69 cal Austrian rifles, which were confiscated. Some of the soldiers at the fort were having fun shooting the Austrian rifles outside the fort. I found the spot many years ago and detected a slew of fired and unfired .69 conical bullets. The sheer size and weight of the bullets compared to minie balls is unbelievable!
