Browning Arms Company traces its roots to the late 19th Century, when John Moses Browning established his firearms factory in Utah. Mr. Browning, who earned many patents for his gunsmithing inventions, developed designs that were manufactured by Winchester, Colt, and Fabrique Nationale. The firm, which has also operated as the J. M. & M. S. Browning Company and as Browning Industries, now makes rifles, shotguns, pistols, and accessories, along with archery and fishing equipment, knives, flashlights, outdoor apparel, footwear, and security safes.
