Sure does look like one, pretty slick ain't it!WTH? A take down?
I have two 1895 takedowns, one in .30/06 and the other in .405!
I also have a 1897 .12 gau takedown "Trench" conversion!

If you send George at Treebone Carving your serial number I'm sure he can provide you the exact stock you want. He has patterns for just about every variation of lever gun and single shot rifle from 1860 to now, and he's an expert. He's the only person I found during 2 years of research into my rolling block that knew that the relatively rare 1870's Remington #1 sporting rifle receiver was slightly narrower than the ubiquitous military receivers, and the tangs were different, and he had a pattern for it. He does them in everything from exotic woods to plain jane walnut.I have a Winchester 1894 made in 1899 according to the serial number. Mine has been modified with a MontiCarlo style but stock that I would like replace with an original version. Does anyone know where I might find one?
Thanks.

My great grandfather bought it new and took it up the Rosebud River on a steamboat around the time Custer met his demise. It was a .38 Long rimfire. It came home to Ohio along with a pair of buffalo horns and a Sioux headdress. I have the buffalo horns, but have never seen the headdress. At some point about 1910 it went through a cabin fire. The finish was destroyed, the forearm burned away, and the butt stock scorched to charcoal on one side. Then sometime between 1910 and 1970 someone stripped all of the remaining finish down to bare metal. Over the years the bore deteriorated to the point where it looked like a sewer pipe on the inside. I received it in that condition about 1980. I did lots of research over the next 20 years, and finally hired Jim Dubell, a member of the American Custom Gunmakers Guild, to restore it.I would like to hear more about your Remington.
I was heartbroken that my dads 50-70 developed a crack at some point.
Almost perfect bore...

How rough? Some character doesn't bother me. I would be glad to compensate you for it.Have you had any luck finding a new buttstock? I have one in rough shape posted on the classifieds here you can have. Just pay shipping and it's yours.
That butt is just screaming quietly for a good rubbin' with some good oil. It would be beautiful!Weathered Winchester 1894 Buttstock
Patina'd walnut Winchester 1894 buttstock, 95%+ inlet. Shotgun butt. Two blued or case hardened? plate screws. Looks to be never finished. couple dings and scratches, oil stains and significant browning of the grain. Two small cracks forming at the wrist. I bought this in Atlanta, ID at a yard...www.northwestfirearms.com
There are pictures in the ad I linked above. If you want more let me know, doesn't look like it would be original due to the shotgun butt.How rough? Some character doesn't bother me. I would be glad to compensate you for it.
