I have a shotgun with NEWPORT CN on the reciever,it is a double barrel,20 guage. I have been told it was made by crescent arms co. after that company was aquired by H.D. Folsom.Any more info would be appreciated.

Crescents and Folsoms,which have a plethora of names on them, were cheap utility guns which sold for a few bucks new.

Please do not try to shoot these unless you have a decent smith look them over first and give his blessing.

Shotguns and grenades have similar pressures....
