Turnbull Restoration Introduces Handcrafted Long Gun Travel Case
Bloomfield, NY – September 9, 2025 – Turnbull Restoration, the trusted name in period-correct firearm restoration and timeless craftsmanship, is proud to announce the release of its new Long Gun Travel Case. Built with the same attention to detail and classic styling as the company’s popular handgun case, this latest offering is designed for collectors who travel with their rifles and carbines while expecting a higher standard of protection and presentation.
Originally tailored for Turnbull’s deluxe rifles—namely the Turnbull-Finished Winchester 1873 and 1892 Takedown—this newly refined design now features a universal fit for most rifles with barrels up to 26 inches. Soft-crush interior padding holds prized firearms securely in place, while the leather exterior and golden hardware make a statement of enduring quality.
“Our customers have always valued the beauty and function of our original fitted rifle cases, but many asked for a version they could use with multiple long guns including our own Model 1886,” said Steve Lester of Turnbull Restoration. “We listened, and designed a handcrafted travel case that blends versatility with the same heirloom-worthy details.”
The Turnbull Long Gun Travel Case measures 48.00″ x 10.50″ x 3.25″ and includes three hasp clasp latches, a leather-wrapped carry handle, and an embroidered Turnbull logo that proudly signifies its maker.

- Universal Fit: 46.25″ x 8.75″ interior, designed for rifles with barrels up to 26″

Turnbull Restoration Introduces Dovetail Picatinny Rail Mount for Red Dot Optics on Lever-Action Rifles
Bloomfield, NY – May 14, 2025 – Turnbull Restoration, renowned for its craftsmanship in firearm restoration and enhancement, proudly introduces the Dovetail Picatinny Rail Mount for Red Dot Optics—developed in response to demand from owners of lever-action rifles with octagon barrels, and also fully compatible with all barrels featuring a 3/8-inch 60-degree dovetail.
This precision-machined mount lets shooters and collectors add a red dot optic to their favorite lever guns—with no permanent modifications required. It installs in place of the factory rear sight, offering a secure, MIL-SPEC mounting base while preserving the firearm’s classic integrity—a must for owners of vintage rifles who value originality as much as performance.
“Our customers love the timeless appeal of lever-action rifles, but many—especially hunters and shooters with aging eyes—are looking for ways to improve sight acquisition without sacrificing the rifle’s traditional aesthetic,” said Steve Lester of Turnbull Restoration. “A red dot sight can make all the difference in low-light conditions or when tracking moving game, and this mount provides a seamless way to integrate modern optics without altering the rifle’s original character.”
