doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com Questions on New England Arms sidelock

I recently looked over a sidelock that was sold by New England Arms of Kittery Point, Maine, (which is what was engraved on the barrels). The gun looks to me like it possibly was made by Arrieta. The gun appears to be well made, and based on my one visit to NE Arms, I'm sure it wasn't cheap. Since they are out of business, my only hope of getting any information is that someone on this board can provide it. Anyone out there know who made the gun, what price it sold for, if there was more than one model/grade offered, etc. I would greatly appreciate any info. Thanks in advance.

There is no better man in this country to either answer your questions or work on your guns.
Not only is he a friend but Stephen is the only man that is allowed to touch my guns.
As my friend has told you, he is a master and is a gentle giant, both in appearance and in the world of master gunsmithing.
Best,
John
