I'm sure everyone here knows that the Newton interrupted thread bolt head is a direct copy of the Ross .280 bolthead.

And the Ross was a copy of the Palmer bolt action carbine patented in 1863.

The caption of the picture went on to say that "The principles of the design are an improvement over Ross because it is safer, simpler and cheaper to make, and would give proper primary extraction for a spent round."

The integral scope bases were an unusual feature for that time. Did Newton pioneer this feature?

The flats on the receiver ring and bridge are not integral scope bases. They were intended to be used as areas for "telescopic sight blocks" as mentioned in several Newton catalogs.
