Well done.
I'd suggest some correction about "USRAC" closing the doors in 2006.

By 2006 USRAC was no longer a company, it was only the plant in New Haven, the manufacturing operation.

USRAC had been bought by a French concern years earlier, and when the plant closed in New Haven FN in Belgium owned both Browning and USRAC.

FN used Browning to market USRAC products & to operate the joint repair service for Browning and "Winchester". Browning also handled imports.

Now, Browning has the license from Olin Corp (the owner of the Winchester brand) to import Winchester-branded guns from whatever foreign source on behalf of FN, and to market & repair them. FN indirectly possesses the licensing to manufacture Winchester-marked guns here & abroad.

When the New Haven plant closed in 2006, it wasn't USRAC that made the decision, it was FN, the parent company.

Also, are you sure about CNC equipment in 1972?
