edit: Google says Olin Kodensha opened in the early 1960s, but the 101 began about 1976. If memory serves, the Super-X was briefly made in New Haven, before it too went to Japan. My dad had one of the New Haven guns, but I sold it, for better or worse, because I hated all the click clack, especailly being a southpaw.
Edgar:
I do not think the Super-X was ever made in Japan. Strictly Conn. I do know the folks at the plant joked they should include a $100.00 in every gun box because that was at least what Winchester lost on each Super-X produced. Might want to check with a Winchester guy.

I have one and it is a killing machine at sporting, trap and skeet. I have several barrels.

Just my remembering's.
