Photo Reversed
The photo of the great man is reversed (like the famous Billy the Kid 'Left-Handed Gun') The loading port of the take-down .22 semi is on the wrong side and the buttons and button-holes on his clothes are the wrong way round for a gent. I just Googled it and that photo always seems to be reversed - but that doesn't make it right! Paul J Williams (talk) 16:55, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Later work and life
"Browning Arms Company was established in 1927, the year after Browning's death on November 26, 1926, in Liège, Belgium." is not correct when compared with the history of the Browning Arms Company (founded in Ogden, Utah, in 1878). Was something else intended here? The company was founded a year before Jonathan Browning (father of John Moses) died in 1879. Looks as if the generations and sequence of events have got muddled. Suggest delete sentence. 185.13.50.215 (talk) 15:00, 10 November 2022 (UTC)
How many Children should be counted?
The article text says he fathered 22 children total, and then clarifies that 10 were with his wife Rachel Theresa Child, which is reflected in the Infobox. Should the Infobox not reflect all of his offspring across his polygamous relationships? 192.77.12.11 (talk) 11:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
