The "Forgotten Winchester" has a new home. The Winchester Model 1873 rifle found by National Park Service employees in 2014 has created a great deal of intrigue and speculation over the past few years. This is the same rifle that stopped for a visit at Winchester's Utah headquarters several years ago. The weathered rifle, found leaning against a very old tree, had two key clues to its history: a readable serial number and a single 44-40 cartridge in the butt-trap recess. This is a rifle that begs for a story. The rifle has finally returned to the Great Basin National Park as the centerpiece of a superb display.

150 years ago the North American continent was joined together by the most massive engineering project of its time:  The Transcontinental Railroad.

We are proud to present these rifles as a small part of the 150th Anniversary celebrations which took place at Utah's Golden Spike National Historic Park the week of May 10th. READ MORE.
