All-

I have a very early SN 24x New Haven Arms Co. 16″ Carbine.
I am looking to communicate with someone who is considered an expert in with these guns.
I am asking for a contact recommendation for someone inside or outside this forum.

– This gun is 100% original. Untouched, all numbers match including SN’s on the buttplate and tang screws.

– Brass cone front sight.
– This gun has a 16″ Volcanic Arms Type I barrel left over from the company transition from Volcanic to New Haven Arms.
– 4 digit assembly numbers on major internal parts.
– 1 line barrel address.

I would like to discuss these items with a Volcanic/New Haven Arms Expert.

Thanks in advance

Bob

I suggest that you buy this book and then contact Steve Rutter.

Road King –

Thanks for the response. I have Rutter’s and McDowell’s. Read them both, they are excellent. However they don’t answer all of my questions.

Any idea how I can get in touch with Mr. Ritter? Email, ph #.

Thanks in advance
