I've got a pre-64 (probably purchased in the early '50's) Winchester Model 37 16ga. shotgun I'm trying to restore. It was my father's first gun, and unfortunately he gave it to my sister's husband, who apparently put it away in the attic and never touched it for about 15 years. (jackass) The gun is pretty much coated with rust.
The good news is that the gun is in my possession now. I took it apart and I'm in the process of cleaning off all the rust and restoring the metal parts. That's going really well. The bad news is that the buttstock of the gun got cracked pretty badly in the process of trying to remove it from the reciever.
So now I'm looking for a replacement stock for a 16ga. Model 37. Can any of you guys offer suggestions on where to start looking, or things to avoid? I honestly have no idea.
