I took the day off from work to pick up my daughter from college. She wanted to come home for the weekend so I agreed to pic her up. (2 hours from house to her school) I saw a big accident on the way there on the Thruway. Stopped at the Field and Stream store to browse for a while. on the way to her school I passed the thruway and they had a sign saying the Thruway was closed to exit 44 due to an accident. So I pick up my daughter, jump on 5&20, and head east to get around the accident. As I am driving I realize Turnbull's shop is right on 5&20 in Bloomfield so I swing in when I see their sign. Stopped in to browse, and got to meet Doug Turnbull himself. Extremely nice guy, took time out of his day to talk to me about hunting and guns. Beautiful firearms in the shop, their case hardening is exquisite and the refinished stocks are a thing of beauty. well worth the Thruway being shut down to make me take the backroads. I have a few more pics I will post when my internet starts working better. In case you couldn't figure it out, I'm the short stocky guy on the left!!

One of the few times a detour is a good thing 😉

I used to drive by it every time I went hunting, never stopped in though.

Doug is a true artist. I've never heard a bad word about him.

Very nice post. I enjoy seeing the facilities where our firearms icons practice their art!

Doug is a true artist. I've never heard a bad word about him. I have. Gunsmith Dave Lanara loves to run his mouth about Turnbull. Probably just jealous. I have several sixguns sporting Turnbull's finish work and they are all stellar.
