SPECIAL CHARACTERISTICS/DESCRIPTIVE WORDS:

TheWinchester Repeating Arms Companywas a prominent American maker ofrepeating firearms, located in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester brand is owned by theOlin Corporationand the name is used under license by two subsidiaries of theHerstal Group;Fabrique Nationale (FN)of Belgium and theBrowning Arms Companyof Ogden, Utah.

The ancestor of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company was theHorace SmithandDaniel Wessonpartnership of Norwich, Connecticut (not to be confused with the famousSmith & WessonRevolver Company founded later by the same men). Smith & Wesson acquired Lewis Jennings\' improved version of inventorWalter Hunt\'s 1848 \"Volition Repeating Rifle\" and its caseless \"Rocket Ball\" ammunition, which had been produced in small numbers by Robbins & Lawrence of Windsor, Vermont. Jennings\' rifle was a commercial failure, and Robbins & Lawrence ceased production in 1852.[1]Smith designed a much-improved rifle based on Jennings\', and the partners also hired away Robbins & Lawrence shop foremanBenjamin Tyler Henry. In 1855 the Smith & Wesson partnership, in order to manufacture what they called the \"Volcanic\" lever-action rifle and pistol, sought investors and incorporated as theVolcanic Repeating ArmsCompany. Its largest stockholder was clothing manufacturerOliver Winchester.[1]

TheVolcanic riflehad only limited success. The company moved to New Haven (without Smith or Wesson) in 1856, but by the end of that year became insolvent. Oliver Winchester and his partner John M. Davies purchased the bankrupt firm\'s assets from the remaining stockholders, and reorganized it as the New Haven Arms Company in April 1857.[1]

After Smith\'s departure Benjamin Henry continued to work with a Smith development project, the self-contained metallicrimfirecartridge, and perfected the much larger, more powerful.44 Henryround. Henry also supervised a new rifle design based loosely on the Volcanic to use the new ammunition, retaining only the general form of the breech mechanism and the tubular magazine. This became theHenry rifleof 1860, which was manufactured by the New Haven Arms Company, and used in considerable numbers by certain Union army units in theAmerican Civil War. The Henry rifle ensured New Haven Arms\' success, and together with theSpencer rifleestablished the lever-action repeater in the firearms market.[citation needed]
