  The house that I was raised in at 3755 Myrtle Ave. in Long Beach, California is also on the registry of historic places and has that plaque affixed to the outside wall. It was the first house built in North Long Beach, California in the year 1920. My Grandmother's relative, Leslie M. Bidleman bought the house in 1921 and he willed it to my Grandmother in the 1950s and she got it in early 1957 when he passed away in 1956 and NO there were no spirits in the house when Leslie passed away in late 1956.

  It took Colt several years before they  made the 1873 in 44-40. The 1873 Winchester were marked 44WCF. The same cartridge for both.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDExZJEBoak&amp;t=3460">57:40</a> “The brand survived. The knowledge didn’t always survive with it.” That line hit hard because it’s true far beyond Winchester. Craftsmanship is much harder to replace than a famous name. Do you think the pre-1964 reputation will ever be matched again?

  I bought a model 94 made in 1964 just because it was controversial. Shoots great!

  What stayed with me most wasn&apos;t the factory closing—it was Benjamin Tyler Henry never seeing his name on the rifle that made Winchester famous. Without his engineering, there may never have been a Winchester legend at all. Do you think Henry deserves far more recognition in firearms history?

  Look at what happened to S&amp;W too,caving in to Government pressure with the Hillary Hole, and Ruger dropping the 3 screw &nbsp;and roll marking the Guns with the safety warning.. Again, the buying Public reaction was tremendous, and almost bankrupted S&amp;W. Until Ruger introduced the plunger activated cylinder stop, the New Model Single Action Revolvers were extremely frustrating to load and unload. The whole character of using a Single Action was reduced to fumbling around with an overweight club. The .357 Blackhawk especially. The only redeeming value was the ability to Handload real Bear stopping loads in the .45 Colt versions.

  Winchester would have died many years earlier if John Browning hadn’t produced the best designs in the industry
