Hi,
I have my Grandfather's 1940 Model 94 Winchester that has seen better days. Bluing is gone, barrel is not a mirror and the stock has damage around the wrist area. However, she still shoots and works fine with a smooth, smooth action. I was inspired by some other guys posting about the Winchester 94s and pulled it back out to look her over...and remembered the stock issue.
The rifle, S/N puts it in 1940 year of manufacture. (Guess Winchester was not busy making Garands and Carbines yet)
Below is the damage to the stock.
I would like to have it professionally repaired, but don't want to pay more than what the rifle is worth. (In other words, not willing to invest a whole lot in this, I have other stuff to shoot.)
I don't want to replace the stock as I want to keep it in its vintage form. If I try to repair it myself, it may end up as a bubba job. So, not to excited to try this. Anyone around who does these types of repairs and any idea on ball park costs???
Thanks
