  • Winchester Firearms Exports to France in World War I
    ASAC_Vol106_04-Carrick_120012.qxd 2/2/13 2:49 PM Page 19 Winchester Firearms Exports to France in World War I By Michael F. Carrick It is a little-known fact that the Winchester Arms Company supplied 15,100 Model 1894 .30-30 carbines to the French Army in 1914. 1 They also supplied a significant num- ber of models 1907 and 1910 to the French Aeronautics Division and a quantity of Model 1903 .22 W.A.R. semiauto- matic rifles for training (Figure 1). In this article, I discuss the contract for the Model 1894 carbines and leave the others for another time. Perhaps one of the reasons that we do not see too much about this sale of 15,100 carbines and 15.1 million rounds of full metal jacket cartridges2 to France is that Winchester actually sold the lot to the Remington Arms Company. The contract was dated September 22, 1914. Sifting through Winchester factory records in the McCracken Research Library in Cody, Wyoming, for this transaction, I finally found the record of sales to the Remington Arms Company. I believe that Remington must have had an exclusive contract to supply arms and ammunition to the Government of France. Figure 1. The Winchester rifle (Model 1894 Carbine, .30 WCF, French Military Contract 9-22-1914) with red circles around swivels. Perhaps the Winchester representa- tives did not want to brag that they had sold a large order to Remington, and Remington representatives did not want to brag that they had sold an order of Winchesters; therefore, there would have been little publicity.
