Speer - Newton Boxes
|
|
Here is another group of Newton boxes.
The Speer cartridges were
probably made by Dominion. It seems that Speer and Dominion had a close
working relationship. Western was also a Newton manufacturer as was
Remington - UMC.
The image above is a original Newton manufactured box of .257 Newton
cartridges.

An
unusual Model 95 Winchester
|
In the Fall 1957 the publisher went wild boar
and red deer hunting in European Turkey near the Black Sea coast northwest
of Istanbul. This Turkish hunter, his name long forgotten, had this
interesting Model 95 Winchester. It is one of the 7.62 Russian
models Winchester made for Russia during WWI. A blacksmith shop
gunsmith had converted it to a rifle/shotgun by welding on a breech face
to the lower part of the original bolt, mounted a 16 gauge shotgun barrel
under the rifle barrel after removing the box magazine, and then made
double triggers for it. It was not a very handsome piece but it
worked. He hunted boar and the red deer and keklik (Hungarian
partridge to us), but all with the shot barrel, no doubt using slugs for
big game. So another Model 95 is probably still in service there.
