What was the difference between the Browning company established in 1927 in Utah and the Springfield Company?
What Springfield Company are you referring too? Browning didn't
have a Company in Springfield, but they did have their operations
in St Louis Missouri. The Headquarters for the Browning Companies
was in Ogden for many years, known as Browning Bros. and also the
JM & MS Browning Co. In 1927 they created the Browning Arms
Company in the United States to sell under that name the gun
imports from Belgium. In 1931 Browning moved their Sales and
distribution operations from Ogden to St. Louis Missouri and it
remained there until 1964 when they moved to Morgan Utah. Browning
guns are all from the same Company that imported, made and sold
guns known as Browning's. Most all the Browning guns were made in
Belgium and Japan, however some people have had confusion over the
guns made in the USA, St. Louis Mo. These guns are the auto-5's
that Remington made for Browning during WWII. They were actually
made in New York by Remington, not in St Louis.
