Anybody know who is the current manufacturer of Winchester?

 

Aren't they farmed out 3rd party, but stamped Winchester?

 

I noticed the Winchester 1886 is coming back out.

FN + mirouku depending on model -

FN bought the shotgun line

There was an article in the American Rifleman, November 2010 about the model 94 coming back out. Manufactured by Miroku Firearms, Japan, imported by Winchester.

Reminds me of my 82 Fender Strat Even though there was a transition in assembly and parts at that time.

The Winchester M70 rifle is still being made in the U.S.A.; in Columbia, SC.

 

Miroku did the 1886, 1895, 1892 models for Browning. Browning and Winchester today are both under the same arm. The special batch of commemorative 94's they did for Winchester sport tang safeties. I believe the 1886 model has a tang safety as well. Tang safeties?

Thanks Parker, I know who to talked to about this style of firearms.

I heard Miroku did excellent work on the previous Winchester clones. Built like a tank from what a few owners told me.

 

But Tang Safety? I'll have that disconnected before pulling the first trigger.....

 

Damn....45cal boolit sitting on top of 70grains of sweet sweet black magic baby!!

Sadly, Winchester's New Haven, CT location stopped making the M70's a while ago -

Miroku's are built very well. Turnbull Restoration thought highly enough of their 1886 & 1871 models (I forgot to add that last one) that he builds his custom Turnbull .470/.475's using them as his platform. 470 / 475 Turnbull Rifles

I had my mule eared shotgun case hardened by them, gorgeous!!
