Turner E. Kirkland was an Entrepreneur. Turner Edward Kirkland is known as the founder of Dixie Gun Works, a world-renowned company that produced replica black powder firearms for hunters, shooters, Civil War and Cowboy & Western re-enactors. His interest in antique firearms began at the age of 11 years with an 1849 Colt Pocket Model pistol. In 1954, he designed his first production firearm, a replica of the muzzle-loading New Dixie Squirrel Rifle. Today, Dixie Gun Works, Inc. produces hundreds of replica weapons from matchlocks and flintlocks to the rifles and handguns the "won the West." In 1982, Mr. Kirkland completed his Bachelor of Science degree. His education has been interrupted by service in the Army Signal Corps during World War Two and his many projects at DGW that also included authoring books on antique firearms and the men and re-enactors that use them. He later completed graduate work at England's Oxford University. In 1987, he retired from DGW. Dixie Gun Works was formally founded in 1954, but it could be said, however, that Dixie Gun Works actually began many years before. In 1931 Turner Kirkland I paid seventy five cents for a "dug" 1849 Colt Pocket pistol. His father soon realized he loved guns and began buying a few at depression prices and giving them to me. By the time he entered college in 1938, he owned about one hundred guns. Following a stint in the army during World War II, with two years in the Pacific and seven service medals, he began a career as a traveling wholesale jewelry salesman, selling jewelry to department stores. He found that not only were other gun lovers interested in old guns, but they were also in dire need of parts with which to repair guns they wished to shoot or restore for sentimental reasons. It didn't take long to realize that this was a way to generate income to keep his gun collection going. The contacts he made by mail and at gun shows over the years put him in touch with collectors with surplus parts and, more importantly, he knew those obscure craftsmen who were producing replacement parts for old guns. He then working full time in this business and it could be called the beginning of Dixie Gun Works. A Model T garage was the first home of Dixie Gun Works. By the fall of 1955 the business had prospered so much that he had to purchase a 4000 square foot, former automobile dealership building. In 1960 Dixie Gun Works moved into a 12,000 square foot building built especially for the business. Eight years later, in 1968, Dixie Gun Works moved to its current location where a 30,000 square foot addition in 1974 brought the present size of Dixie Gun Works' buildings to a total of 46,000 square feet, just over an acre. From a small ad placed in Muzzle Blasts magazine in October 1948, Dixie Gun Works has grown to be the largest supplier of blackpowder shooting equipment, parts and antique guns in the world. An Antique Arms Catalogue is published two times a year. The Dixie Gun Works Blackpowder Annual,first published in 1978, is the only publication dedicated to blackpowder and the blackpowder era that appears on newsstands and in bookstores all over the world. Dixie Gun Works is proud of these firsts! First replica large scale shooting cannon; First production made replica muzzleloading rifle; First production made replica flint and percussion locks; First production replica single and d. J. .
