It was in I860, a year after the Civil War ended, that Oliver Fisher Winchester founded the company in New Haven, Conn. Success was based upon introduction and mass production of the first practical repeating rifle. ACCEPTANCE OF Winchesters early models proved that a demand was finally being supplied. From Mexico Benito Juarez ordered 1,000 of the first Model 86 rifles to augment the firepower his forces needed to free Mexico from die Napoleonic occupiers. A more powerful version of Model 68, the Winchester Model 73 became standard equipment with the Colt revolver for Western pioneers it was celebrated as the gun that won the West.' So impressed with it was Col. Buffalo Bill Cody that he wrote the company in 1875 stating: have been using and' have thoroughly tested your latest improved rifle. I pronounce your improved Winchester the. boas. Believe me, that you have foe most complete rifle now made; Several years later, President Roosevelt wrote in Teddy W.R.A.C. . about the new Model 78, he said: "The Winchester ir die best gun for any game to be found in the United States. THERE ARE no extant writings to document Sitting Bulls appreciation for the Winchester repeater, but it can be believed that he surrendered with reluctance his own Model 68 to the government in 1881 which rifle is now in the Smithsonian Institute in Wash., D.C.

The Winchester just naturally became the "extra arm of settler and cowboy, soldier and hunter. Between 1886 and 1872 the net worth of die Winchester Repeating Arms Company rose from 450,000 to 1.1 million. As the firearm industry pew so did the demand for better ammunition. WINCHESTER added chemical ballistics laboratories and special ammunition storage facilities to die plant In 1883, the company erected a brass rolling mill for the manufacture of metallic cartridges. - WRAC ordnance re- search pioneered die most important sporting ammunition development of the ere smokeless powder cartridges, much more powerful than customary black powder ammunition.
