Winchester lever-action repeating rifles are an integral part of
the folklore of the American West. Introduced after the American
Civil War, the first Winchester, the M1866, would go on to see
military service as far afield as Bulgaria, but it was in the hands
of civilians that it would become known as 'The gun that won the
west'. Offering a lethal combination of portability, ruggedness and
ammunition interchangeability with pistol sidearms, the Winchesters
and their innovative and elegant breech-loading system represented
a revolutionary design. They were used by a staggering variety of
military and civilian groups - gold-miners, trappers, hunters,
farmers, lawmen, professional gunmen and Native Americans. It
equipped a whole generation of settlers and as such left an imprint
on American culture that continues to resonate today. This book
explores the Winchesters' unique place in history, revealing the
technical secrets of their success with a full array of colour
artwork, period illustrations and close-up photographs.
