Back in October of 23 I bought a Winchester 94 in 38-55. I decided to send it to Turnbull's Restoration for some work and got it back today. New wood, case hardening, bluing and fire blue screws. It took 16 months but the work is what I would expect from Turnbull's. Attached File Attached File |

I was grateful to see shoes. Thank you. |

I have never had a lever gun before but when I see some of these I kind of want one. I have no idea what caliber I would want one in though.

I asked for that to be done on mine and that was the answer from their gunsmith. You can have Turnbull's remove and rework 73s and 92s so that they are exactly as the older models. The fit and finish on the replacement wood is top notch. |
