“Our members are devoted to the preservation, understanding and collecting of Winchester firearms and related products…..”
This is the public-facing statement on our Website that tells the World what WACA is all about.
What you say may well represent the original view of the organizing members but, for those not admitted to the secret, it must be surely confusing, to say the least.
I have seen too many inquiries from non-member enthusiasts of the brand, which have drawn what amounts to a rebuke because their Winchester rifle or shotgun was not one admitted to the Inner Sanctum.
This is unfortunate for several reasons, not least because it renders the representation in our Website disingenuous.
Although I think it would be a mistake, if the “focus” is as you suggest, that should be made clear in the “About” section of our Website.
I’m not sure what Browming Arms Company d/b/a Winchester Guns will think about that but I could make a pretty good guess.

I’m a new member and relatively new to this forum. If this subject has been covered here somewhere, I apologize, but I could not find it.I am considering the purchase of a new Winchester 73 made by Miroku as a fun shooter with historic design. Unfortunately, I haven’t found one local to look at first hand. Does anyone have one or have any experience with a new model 73 to offer some input on quality…or any other point of interest? I have no issue with the current cost of these as long as the fit, finish and operation warrant it. I would be buying without actually seeing in person. Any information may be helpful to me. Chambering in .357 has my interest. Thank you

Herman, Did you intend to make a comment beyond quoting Dave’s original question?
