Winchester's reaction to the selection of the Savage rifle reminds me of the way the Democrats are reacting to Trump's election.
Gov. Morton said he thought the U.S. Government would issue repeaters to the National Guard if they got called up for a national emergency. The U.S. Gov. did call up the N. Y. National guard and sent them to Cuba with their single shot black powder Springfields during the Spanish-American War. The New Yorkers suffered greatly at the hands of the Spanish who were armed with smokeless powder Mauser repeaters but the N.Y. state gov. saved $300,000 and Winchester did Savage some damage.
But that wasn't enough. Winchester created a consortium of U.S. ammo makers who refused to produce 303 Savage ammo. This resulted in Savage starting to make their own ammo in the early 1900's. David

With Savage never say never.
