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. https://www.precisiongunstocks...ntents/en-us/d1.html Treebone also makes stocks for the 73. He does good work judging from what I've seen, but is more expensive. http://www.treebonecarving.com...levergun-stocks.html "For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind..."

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. | |||
