Hello all ,
I would like a Winchester 67A stock.
I don't need a pristine new looking example...However nice that would be.
But I would prefer one that ain't beat all to Hell either.
Honest wear and use marks would be fine.
If the stock came with a butt plate ( factory or aftermarket ) that would be nice as well.
Thank you.

Try Homesteadparts in Arizona. I bought a bolt from them for that model a while back.

Will give them a try...I was hoping for something a little more "local"...but if I gotta go there then I will.

What happened to the original? I had a model 72 where the bolt fixing the action to the stock pulled through.

The original stock is beautiful...but it has been shortened to about 12 1/2 inches of pull.
While that works...it is a bit short for me.

Something I found about those 67A stocks. They marketed a ( Boys) model. That may be what you have. That is what mine is. My dad put a metal plate on the left side for a magnetic flashlight for shooting rats at the dumps. Funny thing is, he also said he carved off a small part of the grip and that made it easy to slip up into the vent of his 49 Ford. Maybe some venison was part of that equation back in the day. Anyway, I was just happy to find a bolt for it after all these years.

I have the full length barrel....not the 20 inch barrel of the boys rifle.

Put a solid black or lace-on leather recoil pad on your stock. Make it near normal length without looking too odd.

Tried that...worked...but made the rifle "butt heavy"...

Hell Andy, I'll sell you an entire 67a to scavenge the stock off!

But you're so dang far away!

Yeah...that would be a deal.
I saw your rifle and I do like it...just that whole distance thing...
Some folks like that I am so far away...

What about a black 1/2" thick buttplate spacer and Pachmayr/etc. of remaining correct thickness? I've only chosen to do this once ("Ol' Bob" .257), and it came out better than I expected.

That...or maybe a contrasting spacer of wood , of the proper length , something like ebony may be placed in.
Recoil ain't an issue here. , so a pad may not be needed.
If I could checker...a checkered butt plate of that contrasting wood , might be nice....

If you've ever seen many (and some well done) wood spacers (most usually on guns shortened for a kid or woman, then "re-lengthened"), they never look right no matter how well fitted and stained, EVEN with the wood saved from the original cut. The eye catches the offending divider immediately with some scorn at the loss of continuity.

At least that was my logic with my first try at a significant spacer. Black plastic (close to the color of the rubber) does not attract such attention.

With "Ol' Bob", that portion of the project turned out to be an "additional feature" of the gun: Should a person of small stature own it, that black spacer can be removed, the pad simply screwed into the butt, and only a slight "proud" edge would exhibit at the bottom of that pad. (Either to be easily corrected to "look right", or ignored in case of a later need to instantly re-lengthen in the case of a growing child).
