Bloomfield N.Y. – Doug Turnbull Restoration has been selected to partner with Marble Arms in the manufacture of its third generation Game Getter gun, more than 100 years after the original Game Getter made its debut. Marble Arms will officially unveil the firearm at the 2010 SHOT Show in Las Vegas Nev. on January 19, 2010.

Doug Turnbull Restoration will assemble and finish the third generation Game Getter guns with the historical charcoal bluing of the original Game Getter rifle that was introduced in 1909.

The third generation Game Getter will be very similar in appearance to the original model, with18-1/2” barrels (.22 cal on top and .410 gauge on the bottom). It will have a folding sporting rear sight with windage adjustment similar to our current #95 rear sight, with modern peep tang sight with windage adjustment, and the original barrel band-beaded front sight. Additionally, the gun will be accompanied by a replica leather shoulder holster and shipped in a slide-top pine wood box just like the original.

“The Game Getter plays a significant role in the history of our company, and having Turnbull’s expertise in vintage firearms will greatly enhance the manufacture of this rifle,” said Craig Lauerman, president, Marble Arms. “Turnbull’s attention to detail, craftsmanship and process consistency will ensure that .the third generation Game Getter will have the authenticity of our hundred year-old original gun.”

Marble Arms will also be manufacturing replacement parts for the 1908 and 1921 models, and Doug Turnbull Restoration will have parts available as well as the ability to repair or replace barrels and other components (including old peep sights) of the first and second generation Game Getter guns.
