Winchester imports were manufactured by specific makers. Individual components may have been fabricated by a small "guild" operation, but it would be more appropriate to refer to them as tradename guns, of which some Belgian makers and Crescent gave a bad name wink

A Class C





The first two orders of guns Winchester imported were made by C.G. Bonehill, and were in five grades from Match Gun down to D-quality. In 1882 a third order was acquired from Richard Redman. Winchester also imported guns from W.C. McAntree & Co. and W.C. Scott & Sons.
