Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 50 was an American 12 gauge semi-automatic shotgun designed by David Marshall Williams based on patents by Jonathan E. Browning in 1950 and produced by the Winchester Repeating Arms Company from 1954 to 1962.By the 1950s, various companies such as Remington and Savage Arms had produced semi-automatic shotguns which had become extremely popular. Winchester wanted to capitalize on the market and set out to produce a shotgun that would be instantly competitive with its competitors' offerings; of note is that Winchester had actually tried to enter said market in the past with no success.
A team of designers, including famed designer David Marshall Williams, was tasked to create a shotgun that could instantly be competitive in this market. Using a patent owned by Jonathan E. Browning (one of John Browning's sons) as a base, Williams added his floating breech element to the newly-designed gun, except that it was scaled up to fit the new shotgun. This shotgun would become the Model 50.
The Model 50 was introduced in 1954 and achieved moderate commercial success at first. Despite it being a high-quality and reliable weapon, the introduction of gas-operated shotguns in the 1960s caused sales of the Model 50 to slow, with most companies switching to gas operation for their semi-automatic shotguns; the Model 50's lack of interchangeable chokes hurt sales even further.Due to these factors, the Model 50 was discontinued in 1962; before it was discontinued, the short-lived Model 59 was introduced in 1959, which was an improved version of the Model 50 using modern materials and interchangeable chokes.
