new/old stock for winchester model 60a?

Post by TBJ » 26 Jun 2017, 8:16 pm

Hi all, I recently aquired my grandfathers guns, the first of which I want to fix up is his old .22 single shot Winchester model 60a, it has a broken stock with the broken bit missing, so as per his wishes to fix it up and use it, so far I need a new stock and sight ramp to fix it up but don't know where to start at all, so I was hoping that someone here might be able to help?
thanks

Numrich would be the place to start, but they recently stopped shipping internationally.
Could be worth asking them at least.

Just had a look but they only have the front sight and buttplate sadly, is there any other places I should look.

You will likely find that other models share the same parts, and that other brands use the same rifle. Cooey Ace for example is a rebranded Winchester, as are some of our Lithgows. I would start trawling forums as it's very likely others have made the same journey and may have already found some answers.

Or if you find somebody with an original rifle you could have a copy made of the ramp.
And the stock could probably be repaired if you wanted to maintain its originality

Without seeing it I'd only be guessing.
Basically you'd cut out the damaged piece, glue in a new piece and shape it to match, then stain. You might also distress it so it doesn't look too out of place.
No idea who would do such work but dealers should know somebody.
Cost would certainly exceed the value of the rifle, probably several times over.
If originality is not important though you could probably find a stock from something of the era and fit the action to that one.

Can you pop the action/barrel out and post up a photo of the inlet. I might have one, or be able to make you one.

Hey Trekin. Long time no see!

I'd love to mock up a stock with bog around my current stock and get you to copy it in a supplied piece of timber. Any chance of doing that sort of thing? Please PM me.
Cheers.

Have a Win Mod 60 and a Lithgow Mod 1 stocks (the same rifle), but neither stock is in useable condition

Have a stock for another Win Model that has a very similar inlet to the Mod 60 and should fit with a little triming

Or I could make you a copy of the orginal stock.
