Turnbull Restoration ~~~ and Tom Selleck

[Jmac00]

Here is a very nice article about Turnbull Restoration in Bloomfield NY.

for those that don't know, Turnbull is world famous for his proprietary bluing process. His parent started Creekside Firearms back in the 50's

Biekircks has a Winchester 45-70 "Turnbull" ~~~ it's a gorgeous rifle and if I could afford the $1500 price, I would buy it.

I have had the opportunity to meet Doug and he is a class act, a real gentleman. He and his guys are true craftsman. I just wish I could afford their goods.

Some people look at firearms as a tool and just care if it goes bang. I appreciate the quality of work that Turnbull does. My father was a gunsmith and he has a collection of German firearms that shows the incredible workmanship that used to go into firearms.

It still does a Turnbulls, and a few other places if you know where to look.

That shop puts out some absolutely beautiful firearms.

I'm still a little bitter at the family for what happened when Creekside closed. My grandfather died and my grandmother put his pistol up there on consignment. The shop got sold, and her property was never returned to her or someone of her choosing. She (and the rest of my family) lost out on that pistol. I was too young and was never introduced to pistols then. If there was ever some way to track this down, I'd love to buy that pistol off the current owner.

Personally, I prefer a good patina on just about anything. To me, the beauty of a tool or object is being able to look at it and and being able to tell it has served its purpose tirelessly. I could buy a sapphire watch crystal, but it lacks the character, and the quiet time polishing, of an acrylic face. Things like that.

I hear ya. I enjoy all aspects of firearms. I have classics, plastics and well worn.

Turnbull redid a Browning High Power for a friend it was his Grandfathers service gun, he had the gun polishes and blued to the high polish blue that the high end Browning came in it was stunning the gun was gone threw and was perfect.

His shop is close to where I live. I go into the showroom to drool. :Last time I was in there I got a personal tour from Doug. Very professional.
