US Repeating arms owns Winchester rifles and Olin owns the ammo. Its not a private company so she is lying. Actually USRA is owned by a belgium company Herstal group. Who also owns browning name.

I go to Winchester, KY every year and never seen any signs that they
have claims on Winchester! MarineStud, make up a good one for her.
Let the joke be on her!

I've been to Winchester house in Californy, where Olivers daughter squandered his fortune in a 30 year construction project. She believed as long as her house was growin' she wouldn't die. It didn't work. I don't know how the Olin family got hold of the company. The only Winchester ammo I have is for the .35 Remington, its the only brand I could find. :eek:

BC, all the southern boys make good Moonshine!
Here in Fl they make strawberry wine!
In Georgia they make BoJangles Peach wine!

Out of all the places I have tasted in Ky, a guy in winchester, Ky makes the best I have seen. Goes down like water, but instantly makes your stomach feel like its on fire. :D

Good stuff.

It's hard to find some good moonshine. We have some we brought back form West virginia. I used to buy it over in Saudi but the stuff we used to buy over there could peel paint.
