Newton rifle in .256 Newton--Now lower price - 09/05/20
This is a "pre-estate" sale--my 85 year old father has decided that it is time to lighten up and sell a few.
This is a Newton rifle chambered in .256 Newton. I will admit that many of you will know more about these than I, so questions/discussion/additional photos are in everyone's benefit. This is a chance to be the next caretaker of a unique rifle that was way ahead of its time.
Priced at $1250, shipped to either FFL or C&R holder.
But wait there is more...
Also included is the book Charles Newton: Father of High Velocity by Bruce Jennings. This book is typically $250-$300 at rare book sellers. Inscribed by the rifle's previous owner, By Smalley. (By was a ballistics experimenter and collaborated with Mic McPherson to develop the SMc line of cartridges.) And RCBS dies and trim die. The die set from RCBS is Group G special order, currently listed at $143.98 on Huntington's website. And some correctly headstamped brass from Jamison. Everything you need to shoot this rifle.
