I have been around the world a few times, not much makes me do a double take, but I came across this Charles Newton Rifle and had to shake my head. A life time of want ing just to hold one, instead of just seeing it in magazines and books. And now I own one. And a rare one. Mr. Newton made 1000 rifles in Buffalo NY, all were ser numbered. Then moved the shop I believe to NH or CT to try and go full steam ahead.
But only made 2400 rifles total. From 1913 thru?... They where high end guns at the wrong time to make them, checkered, double set triggers, the best of there time.
This ones as rare as it gets, no ser number, patented pending, this one was made in Buffalo NY. Charles Newton was the fore father to the 25-06 Remminton.
Prototype? One can only wonder. Cool gun from my home town prior to moving to Alaska.
Happy to hear from guys that know more about this rifles, there are a few books out about theses rifles too.
If there's any hard core Newton Rifles Collectors out there, I would part with this gun to a guy that a real Newton guy. ... Scott
