B. Turner Fullstock Percussion
« on: January 05, 2014, 11:52:20 PM »
Hi Guys:

I just bought a B. (Brian?) Turner marked fullstock percussion rifle today. 50 cal, 57 1/2 inch overall length, 42 inch Green Mountain barrel, polished silver furniture. Very nicely made. Does anyone know him or where he lives? I'll try to get some pictures posted soon.

Thanks,
Tom

I am probably wrong but it seems like I remember him working for jack garner in corinth miss when I went to jacks place yrs ago. If it was not him it was a guy with a very similar name

I own a .50 cal smoothrifle that Brian Turner made for me. 46" OTR barrel, cherry stuck, brass mounted. Flint, of course. I'll die owning this gun. I'm unsure if Brian is still actively working. He was very easy to work with--a very polite gentleman.

Sitting Fox has some guns by him from time to time. Here's one:

I don't know if this contact info still works:

Ray Franks just emailed me that Brian is "unreachable" just now and is "rumored" to be doing missionary work in Honduras.

Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the help. At least I have an idea where this one came from. -Tom
