I have an OLD beat to death I believe 1906Winchester 22 pump. The wood is about gone. I thought I had a link to a site that sold simple replacement wood for these old rifles. But I've slept since then and can't find the link.

Would prefer a simple factory type replacement vs a semi for me to try and get around to finishing.

I believe it should be a 1906 not 1909

Try Boyds. Can't comment on their quality, but it says their pattern came from a 1906.

WINCHESTER 1890 AND 1906 , 62 & 62A 22CAL STOCK WALNUT (FINISHED)

Paul,

These are the folks you want: http://gunstocksinc.com/

I've bought stocks and forearms for 1906's and 1890s from them. They're done well with wood that looks original, and their prices are very good.

Thanks I think that was the place I had looked at before.

Kitchen I'm just on the unsure side as to Boyds. I've never been that impressed with their work.

Me neither. Boyds works if I just can't find or afford anything better. The couple stocks I bought from them were too much work for what I ended up with.

Here's the butt stock:

It probly isn't important but the 1906 came
with a fruitwood (plum?) stock. Soft, light grain, kinda pink when you sanded it.
Great gun worth restoring, I have been shooting
one for 70 years (really).
Good Luck!

I knew it was soft and sure didn't look like walnut. Outside metal is OK it was a basket case my granddad had back in the corner. Metal needed draw filing wood looked like he had driven nails with it. Bore was gone chamber is about 30cal. Started life as a 22 short gallery gun I believe. Figured but a liner in it and new wood and pass it on to one of my grandsons one day.

In case you're wondering, if it was originally a 22 short, with a little work the carrier can be opened for the 22LR.

Carrier has already been deepened to allow a LR to feed. I feeds fine. However if you ever pull the trigger the chamber is so gone that you can't extract. I know you gave me a price for a liner but I can't find it. If you don't mind PM the numbers and I'll get this thing headed your way. Also the front sight is a FINE blade. Is there a dovetail replacement that would work an help my old eyes see the front sight?

Not all 1906 were 22 shorts, only the shooting
gallery models. The rest were short, long, and long rifle. There was a little flipper in the elevator that allowed it. That was one difference between it and the 1890"s.
Good luck!

The S-L-LR carrier is fitted with a small lever at its mouth that serves as a cartridge cutoff for the Shorts and Longs. The parts for a 62/62A can be used and the larger-dia 62 forearm wood is a big help when operating the action. There's a slight difference in the placement of the magazine tube retaining rings but swapping parts in this rifle is not a big step for a stepper. Relining is quite inexpensive in comparison to other rifles, should cost less than $200 and maybe less than $150, depending. I suggest using a Bentz chamber reamer, the straight-line feeding of the little pump gun will handle it fine.

Considering the wear you mentioned, I'd also suggest adjusting/correcting the action's headspace while relining. This will require either adding a short spacer to the rear of the barrel stub before relining or else setting the barrel back one thread.

Some so-called 'smiths' will just let the liner protrude from the rear of the barrel stub in order to take up the additional headspace.

DO NOT DO THIS!

A short section of liner left protruding (to take up headspace) will soon become beaten down from the repeated battering of the breechblock as it locks up. However the additional support & resistance to battering provided by the entire rear surface of the barrel will enable it to last MUCH longer.
