Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 50 was a semi-automatic shotgun designed by David Marshall Williams based on patents by Jonathan E. Browning in 1950. It was produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1954 to 1962. The Model 50 was Winchester's attempt to re-enter the semi-automatic shotgun market, which had become very popular with the introduction of similar shotguns by companies like Remington and Savage Arms. To create a competitive gun, a team of designers, including David Marshall Williams, used a patent owned by Jonathan E. Browning as a base. Williams added his floating breech element to the newly designed gun, which was scaled up to fit the new shotgun. This shotgun became the Model 50.

Although it was a high-quality and reliable weapon, the Model 50 achieved only moderate commercial success when it was introduced in 1954. The introduction of gas-operated shotguns in the 1960s caused sales of the Model 50 to slow, with most companies switching to gas operations for their semi-automatic shotguns. The Model 50's lack of interchangeable chokes further hurt its sales. The Model 50 was discontinued in 1962. However, before it was discontinued, the short-lived Model 59 was introduced in 1959. It was an improved version of the Model 50, using modern materials and interchangeable chokes.
