I bought this stock on the eBay listing last week, it arrived yesterday. I think that the pictures on the listing
are better than any I can take. I realize this is a long shot, but any idea who the stock maker was?

nice stock, gorgeous wood

I’m not good with identifying makers, but the grain and flow are superb.

I like it too.... can't wait to see it in KC!

It looks a lot like a Winchester 52 stock to me, but it us very nice. Congrats on a great buy.

Thanks Tim

I am pretty sure it is for a 52 as well. My Dad had two, they are now with my older brother, I hope one of them will go into that stock. I have an old carding wheel, the buttplate cleaned up nicely but still has a lot of corrosion.

The grain in the buttstock looks fabulous. One thing that stood out to me, the stock appears to be cut for both the original wing safety and the later sliding button that started with the B models. I wonder if the stock was originally made for a B, and then later had an earlier action put in it, as the cut for the wing safety goes into the checkering? On the other hand, there is a factory 52B sporter on GB right now that has cuts for both safeties, or maybe the right side cut was to accommodate a sight? Regardless, it will dress up any action you put in it. One of your fathers actions would make it would be the whipped cream and cherry.

Thanks Tim

If I saw something that my dad would like, I’d be on the phone or emailing him to tell him about it. When I saw the stock, I was like “Dad would like this”.

If one of the actions fits, I will post some pictures.
