But the Browning was (and still is) a very elegant rifle. Rugers outsold Brownings probably 10 to 1 (or more) in those days because they were less expensive and Ruger’s marketing was better. 1 back in the 1970s (the idea of a single-shot rifle was intriguing to me and many others), and I guess Browning wanted in on the action (pardon the pun). 1 single-shot rifle, and the design was basically a resurrection of the old Winchester High Wall. Which I did, and the one that stuck in my mind had a Browning B78. You see, every time I had to visit one of these distant places on my business travels, it was an opportunity to check out the gun shops in the area. It’s a lead into this story, which is about my Browning B78 rifle.
What we bought from NWL had nothing to do with water (they made the F-16’s hydraulic accumulators).
Sometime in the late 1970s, when I was an engineer on the F-16 program at General Dynamics in Fort Worth, Texas, I visited a company called National Water Lift somewhere in the Great Lakes area.
