He was born on this day in 1855 in Ogden, Utah and went on to design some of the most dependable weapons in our inventory. The son of a gunsmith, he patented his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.american-inventor.com\/john-moses-browning.aspx\">first breech-loading rifle in 1875<\/a>. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ultimately, John Moses Browning&#8217;s inventions helped revolutionize the firearms industry in America with some of the country&#8217;s most commercially successful guns \u2013 including the lever-action repeating rifle, semi-automatic shotgun, .22 caliber rifle, the Browning 1919 .30 caliber and M2 .50 caliber machine guns (MGs), and the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>He also designed the M1911 .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol which remains in service today in some sectors &#8211; I don&#8217;t know any gun owners who don&#8217;t have a 1911. I have two. The Marines just bought 12,000 more for their special operations troops. <\/p>\n<p>Browning died in 1926, but lives on in our gun cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>COB6 writes to remind us that today is the birthday of the fellow he calls &#8220;the &hellip; <a title=\"158 years of John Moses Browning\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=33768\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">158 years of John Moses Browning<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33768","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-historical"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33768","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=33768"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33768\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=33768"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=33768"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=33768"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
