The first time a saw a Turnbull gun, it was a 92 Win. It was clearly brand spanking new, so I looked
at who was making these gorgeous new '92s. The markings were old Win.....impossible. I looked some
more, no, this is a NEW rifle.....At this point I looked up at the bespectacled gentleman behind the gun show
table and said "What is it"?, of course he said, "It's a Winchester '92." I waved my hand and said, "Yeah, obviously,
but new production or what? The markings are old Win markings, but the gun is NEW."
He smiled, straightened up a bit and said, "I restored it."........long pause. Finally all I could think to say in
my overwhelmed condition was, "You already know this, of course, but it is AMAZING!" He beamed and
thanked me. I had to look around and get his card..... Trumbull Restorations. I had never heard of him before
that day.
Until you see a Turnbull gun in person, it is very difficult to understand how truly good they really are.
Looks like you will have something nibbling at that class, hard to tell for sure, but looks like it from the pix.
