虽然以生产运动步枪和霰弹枪而闻名,但温彻斯特连珠武器公司却因生产了50多万支M1伽兰德步枪而为美军最终取得二战的胜利做出了不可磨灭的贡献。对于大多数枪械爱好者来说,“温彻斯特”就是杠杆枪机武步枪或唧筒式霰弹枪的代名词。多年来,坐落于纽黑文的温彻斯特连珠武器公司为民用市场供应了大批高质量武器。虽然以生产运动步枪而成名,该公司从1870年代末到 1960年代初,一直是美国军用枪的重要供应商。尽管其杠杆枪机式步枪一直未得到美国军方的青睐,但还是在19世纪后期为美国政府提供了大量枪械,其中包括旋转后拉式枪机的哈奇开斯步枪及卡宾枪,还包括M1895 6mm李氏直拉枪机式步枪。第一次世界大战期间,温彻斯特连珠武器公司向美国政府输送了大量M1917恩菲尔德步枪、M1918勃朗宁自动步枪、M1897堑壕枪和防暴霰弹枪。
Known for its production of sport rifles and shotguns, the Winchester Company made an indelible contribution to the eventual U.S. military victory in World War II due to the production of over 500,000 M1 Garand rifles. For most firearms enthusiasts, Winchester is synonymous with lever rifles, military rifles or pump-type shotguns. For years, the Winchester Lianzhu Arms Company in New Haven supplied a large number of high-quality weapons to the civilian market. Famed for producing sport rifles, the company has been an important supplier of U.S. military guns since the late 1870s and early 1960s. Although it was not consistently favored by the U.S. military, the lever-type rifle was still heavily armed by the late 19th century for the U.S. government, including the Hatchback Rifle and Carbine which rotated the rear-firing bolt and the M1895 6mm Lee’s pull straight rifle machine rifles. During World War I, Winchester Lianzhu Weapons Company delivered large amounts of M1917 Enfield Rifle, M1918 Browning automatic rifle, M1897 trencher gun and riot-resistant shotgun to the U.S. government.
