    Ken Turner Rifles

    I notice that the VAG website has been updated with a lot of new information, some information on Ken Turner Rifles has been added, pictures of guns and magazine articles:

    https://forum.vintageairgunsgallery.com/turner-ken/

    Some beautiful stainless steel guns!

    Has anyone else seen a Ken Turner air rifle?

    Would be great to see some more examples or read some more information about them.

    It's amazing how he made them from stainless steel, not many would do that...

    I remember talking to Shaun from ISP, he did a one-off Spartan in stainless for a customer in Holland, he told me he'd never do another as it was so difficult to machine!

    The Ken Turner sliding action under lever appeals to me, I like the way it's contained, a tube within a tube of then a tube for the compression chamber.

    The fore runner to the TX200SR perhaps

    I guess you mean this one, at the bottom of the page:

    https://forum.vintageairgunsgallery....zine-articles/

    It is a forerunner of the TX200SR, there is another article about it in a 1989 AirGunner, it has been recently uploaded here:
