Seeking Stock for Winchester Lever Rifle

I have a Winchester 1886 that was lost in a house fire. The stock was damaged beyond repair and the fire was hot enough the metalurgy is too questionable to restore to full function. Yet, I'd like to put a stock on it as a salvaged wall hanger.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding a lower cost (2nd/reject) stock for this project? - EB

If I have a stock blank that needs to be shaped/cut for my 1886 Winchester rifle, who does that type of wood work?
Thanks!

You might call Gary Jones @ precision (830-367-4587) and see if he would cut it out on his machines.
