Hi, Experts. Who is the guy who does restorations with a name like Dan Turnbull, or Doug Turnbull--or maybe that's it? Does anyone have personal knowledge of how good his work is, know what his web site address is, and any idea what restoration of an old Winchester rifle would cost? Thanks Jim

+1 for nice work.
His father, Terry, used to own the largest gun shop/store, in NYS at one time, called Creekside Gunshop. They housed over 3000 longuns, and near as many handguns. Unfortunately, when Elliot Spitzer was our Attorney General here in NY, the Gunshop, had some items stolen, and were found in murder investigations, out of country. The bad part of the Spitzer deal, like he tried to knock down S&W, and Ruger, by him and the Clinton administration, threatening frivulous law suits, so it was with Creekside. The shop closed.
However, Doug's work is second to none, and as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. Yes, The case hardening colors might be a little brighter, and pronounced than the original factory, from 100 years or more ago, but the quality is tops.
