Are Winchester rifles made in America?

Answer 1

Like almost everything else, they used to be. Now some are made in the US, some are made in Europe, and some are made in Asia. Some are made over-seas and assembled in the US. Additionally, Winchesters are really US Repeating Arms company, licensed to use the Winchester name. Actual genuine Winchester Rifles produced in the 1960's in the US became very poorly made firearms after 1964. When you opened the levers (actions) and shook them, they rattled like a loose rock in a tin can. The levers sometimes wouldn't even lock securely back into place (we're talking BRAND NEW rifles!). They were not built to close tolerences and were assembled in a sloppy manner. Sales dropped...and the business went over-seas. Just like cars...quality dropped...and products were built BETTER over seas.
