He had an inventive talent from an early age, and built a gun at the age of 13. In 1879, he patented a single-shot rifle and sold it to Winchester Repeating Arms. His most famous products are the Winchester Model 1886 lever-action rifle, the Remington Model 1905 self-loading shotgun, and the Colt Model 1911 automatic pistol.
