Aftermarket Stock on Sears Ted Williams 200????

[eric_daniel]

Okay, so I've got an old Sears Ted Williams 200 (the Winchester one). It was bought new in 78 or 79. It was my dad's. The wood forend has a crack in it. I'm trying to buy an aftermarket stock and forend. I'm not terribly particular about how it looks afterwards, I just need functionality. I know that I can probably buy a used set from numrich or from gun broker, but I"m trying to find a new aftermarket set. The problem is this: this gun is in all actuality a Winchester 1200, but a winchester 1200 is angled where the stock meets the receiver, whereas the Sears TW 200 is straight. I know that most parts are interchangeable between the two guns, but obviously the stocks are not completely interchangeable. I've found an ATI stock that looks like it might work, but just checking to see if anyone else has tried this.

Is the foreend beyond repair? I have had good luck repairing split stocks with epoxy and then refinishing to the point that others can't see the old damage.

Go with an OEM replacement, even if it's used - if the original can't be repaired. Contact Jack First too, while you're looking. They have lots of parts for the old/out of production/store brand stuff.

But don't spend too much, you're still looking at a $100 - $200 shotgun no matter what, at least by local prices here.
