Win 1886 butt stock and fore end

[Rockingkj]

Just got a basket case 1886 and putting it back together to at least be a wall hanger. Made in 1887 40-82 Round barrel rifle. Needing butt stock (crescent plate) and fore end. I know there it new wood available but would like experienced wood to match the receiver and barrel I have. Thanks

Also need a crescent butt plate.

Keep a eye on fleabay , they have appeared there off and on but they are not cheap.

Thanks that may turn out to be the route to go. Likely cheaper than beat up originals.

I rebarreled an 1886 Winchester to 40-65 Win and replaced the buttstock. I am at my snow duck house in the Florida Keys. The stock is at my farm in Pennsylvania. Will be back in PA the middle of May. Shoot a text then to remind me to dig out the 86' Win buttstock. Think I have a cresent buttplate too.

Numrich used to carry some of those parts - not sure what they have these days.

Rockingkj: Most of the 1886 Winchesters I rebarrel are in 45-70. Some are full octagon but a few were 1/2 oct to round. I get $750 to thread, headspace, cut for the extractor, machine the trunion for the forend, and cut the rotary dovetail for the magazine support. Being an old tyme diemaker: I made up the two line Winchester address and the caliber roll to restore the address. I hot nitrate blue the finished barrel too. Often time the customer wants the barrel slightly defarbed to make it look like the receiver and stock. But the new minty bore makes em great shooters. So after you get tired of looking at your Winchester 1886 shot out wallhanger, you might want to consider making up a white tail buster! The 40-65 Win rebarrel came out great! I have a few photos.
