I have a real nice 1873 Winchester rifle with a broken butt stock.
I would like to find an original vintage one to replace it.
Besides Turnbull what other shops that restore Winchesters might I try that may have "take off" stocks for an 1873?
I may have asked a similar question here before but I'm giving it another run.
Thanks to anyone who is interested in helping.

This outfit offers replacement stocks, I have no experience with them so this isn't an endorsement, just a possible resource.

Treebone also makes stocks for the 73. He does good work judging from what I've seen, but is more expensive.

Thanks hogfarmer I have both of those links.
As I said in my post though I'm looking for an original "take off".

You might try contacting Columbia Precision in Timnath, CO. He may be able to help. Sorry, I don't have contact info handy.

Turnbull will NOT sell any take off stocks.

Most likely because then they are left with a partial original rifle that would not pay to part out.You might try Numrich or Jack First but I would'nt hold my breathe.


Never mistake motion for action.

I just figured that when they strip the old wood off and refinish the rifles to new with fancy wood they would have old factory wood leftover in piles.
