Yes, in a sense they did. There has not been a "Winchester Gun Company" since December of 1980, and prior to that time, it was a division of Olin Industries. Olin sold the original New Haven factory to the newly formed U.S. Repeating Arms Company (U.S.R.A.Co.) in late 1980, and they began business in early 1981. Olin leased U.S.R.A.Co. the rights to use the trade marked WINCHESTER name for a period of 25-years. Sometime in the early 1990s (1993?) Belgian company Fabrique National (F.N.) bought the U.S.R.A.Co., and in March of 2006, they shutdown all U.S. based operations at the New Haven factory. Currently, the Browning Arms Co. has a Winchester division (after they secured the rights to use the trade mark WINCHESTER name). Oddly enough, the Browning Arms Co. is owned by F.N.
