Gaeton, The Buffalo Newton Rifle Co. was organized in 1923 for the purpose of manufacturing a newly designed rifle. The first rifles were made in 1924 and became the Second Model 1924 Buffalo Newton rifle. The factory was in New Haven, Connecticut. Only about 1,000 of this model Newton rifle were produced. The Buffalo Newton Arms Co was proceeded by the Chas. Newton Rifle Co. in 1919 and the Newton Arms Co. Inc. in 1914. These First Model 1916 rifles were made in Buffalo, New York. Due to financial difficulties and the inability to make ammunition because of the war efforts, the company produced rifles under Newton for 16 months. In this time, about 2,400 rifles were manufactured. Newton Arms Co. Inc. went into receivership for the next 98 days. After 1923 barrels were made in CT.
