you ever want to sell that! I’ll give you a good price!Finally got to see the S&W heritage that I bid on, the auction pictures were washed out and you couldn't see colors or patterns at all.
I have yet to see a Turnbull finished gun that I didn't like though.
When I got to see this one in person it didn't disappoint.

Paper micarta.CraigC grips Osage Orange? ...
anybody know someone that can do real or fake color case? i got a model 10 long barrel that would love the look
but not TB… too expensive
I couldn't pass up that one. It was a bit steep but looked unfired.......until I got it home.Yea but those M15's look so nice in nickel, and those grips look perfect for that gun.
I took my only other M15, a nickel 15-2 out today. Still doing her part if I do mine.

CraigC... Are those linen micarta stocks on that nickeled M-15 in your post #7 ?
I've got a cpl SS Ruger BH's that would do well with a set like that. I've never made up a pair of S&W grips as the double mortise intimidates me, but the Ruger and Colt single actions are no real trick. Just wondering.
Best Regards, Rod
that’s CRAZY! you shoot that thing?Very nice, congratulations, and thank you for sharing.
I like the colors on my Turnbull finished Winchester (I sent it back for work and this last time, the colors were the prettiest):
You better believe it! In that picture it's not been fired since it returned from Turnbull, so it's extra clean. I had a couple of small things that Turnbull fixed and they re-cased it; it's prettier than it was previously.that’s CRAZY! you shoot that thing?

I had the receiver coated with lacquer, which is what is normally put over case coloring on restored guns, instead of clear cerakote which is normally put on case colored new manufactured guns. I had some discussion with the folks at Turnbull Restoration, and was told, if I want to have even wear over years of use, lacquer was a better choice. I plan to use the heck out of the gun and when my grandson gets it, it'll look like a 100 year old Winchester does now.
