Would you consider these 4 gentleman to be some of the most influential in the progression that guns have made in the past 150 years?
Remington was. Colt was. Browning definitely was. Weatherby? Without Peter and Paul Mauser to develop the really successful bolt action, Weatherby would have been just another guy who owned a gun shop.
Who else were "some" of the most influential... Christian Spencer, Joseph Rider, HiramMaxim, IsaacLewis, John Marlin, Ritter Von Mannlicher, JohnGarand,Simonov, Kalashnikov. Kinda tough to narrow it down.
Yep! All them came thru my mind also!
Also the one which niolated Custer,
the Henry repeater, when the US Calvary was onlyarmed with single shot Spencers.
