Doug Turnbull
Restorations
The Gun List

     When he founded his business in 1982, Doug Turnbull never guessed it would grow to become the pre-eminent gun Restoration Company in the USA. With a staff of 10, located in Bloomfield, NY, Turnbull Restorations specializes in the accurate re-creation of Historical metal finishes on period firearms.
      From polishing to final finish, they can do bone charcoal case hardening as well as charcoal blue, rust blue and nitre blue finishes.
      Doug Turnbull says, "Every time we restore a firearm, a little piece of me travels back with it to the owner. I take great pride in knowing that the "new-again" gun will now serve yet another generation ..."

WinchesterThe award winning Winchester 1886 .50 Express Rifle

     As a natural off-shoot of the Restoration aspect of the business, they also offer a selection of beautifully restored period shotguns, handguns and rifles.
      Turnbull's Winchester 1886 .50 Express Rifle won The Best Upgrade Award at this year's Gold Medal Concours d'Elegance of Fine Guns held at The Vintage Cup at Orvis Sandanona, Millbrook, NY in September. The rifle was converted to takedown, re-stocked, engraved, carved and re-finished.
