The real question, how many would read the book of Mormon to own each of his creations?

I do have it on audio book... maybe it was something in there that helped spark his genius.

Always loved the introductory statement in this series!

Nice, thanks for sharing!
Had the chance to tour john seniors shop in Nauvoo, IL a few years back. Be hard pressed to convince me the genius of browning was dumb luck.

I would like to see some of the designs that winchester bought just to keep away from the competition... Maybe a visit to the Browning museum in Utah is in my near future. I'll already be half way there later this month for the pif build anyway.

He was amazing. I often think just imagine what he could come up with if he lived now. With the machinery and tech now? Considering when he lived he was really gifted.

One thing that strikes me about J.M.B, was that once he had an idea, he ran with it as far as it would go, success after success! Look at his BlowBack Recoil system, He used that on many designs that were hugely successful, and some that were failures! You can see the succession through out his design evolution, and track his improvements. Another thing that amazes me, and most don't realize, is that He was the creator of many things that had not already existed before, and he did it with old technology and lots of hand fitting. VERY few designers through out our history can match that level of genius, with maybe Samuel Colt one of the few. Look at the 1911 design, pure genius! A very simple design that used physics as much as an ingeniously simple mechanical function that is THE most copied design in history. its simple and it works, and its pretty cool to look at too!
