Does Winchester still make any guns?

I know that Winchester used to be famous for making rifles, etc. but I've heard they now only make ammo. Is this true? Thanks.

    The original company is long gone, but the name lingers on, and the Winchester 70 is back on the market, and very similar to the pre-64 versions.

    I have heard from a local gun dealer that Winchester still makes some rifles here in the USA, but they are special order, high end rifles, not the joe average Winchester 70's.

    The lever actions and high and low wall rifles?

    No not as such.

    ...not at the moment anyway.

    BUT

    FNH, (Fabrique Nationale Heristal, Belgium...aka BROWNING) has bought their designs and tooling and soon will be putting Winchesters back on the market, possibly even under the Winchester name! They'll be back. Classics never die.
