Winchester 1886 gunsmith ?

[Horace Patootie, SASS #35798]

I have an 1886 Winchester in 45/70 which was made IIRC in 1897. It has been reblued at some point so not a real collector item. It appears to function fine but I'm thinking about having it restored to an original type finish on metal and wood. Who does this kind of work that you know of; especially if you have had such work done before?

If you really want to do it right, you need Doug Turnbull. https://www.turnbullrestoration.com/

That was my thinking but wasn't sure.

Not Cheap But Probably The Best

I believe Doug got pushed out of Turnbull’s by his son a while back. He may be out on his own again.

This my '86 that Turnbull did the metal finishing on. I am very pleased with the results. Indy
