thanks!
Stupid question of the week: are Winchester 1892 and 1894 buttstocks the same?

I don't know from personal experience, but these folks sure think so!

They don't look the same to me:

They might be interchangeable, but that's a different question.

Anyone know the differences between pre and post 1964 stocks?

I may have a walnut roughed in Stock for a 94 and a 92 , Ill look tommorrow. They came from a local world renown stock maker. I had a couple relics of both where the wood was rotted off . Another project I never got around to.
Not nearly stupid enough to be the Stupid Question of the Week. I doubt it would even make the cut as Stupid Question of the Day.

Yeah, I have 2 crusty 1894s both with furniture that's been repaired several times, patched with putty, dowels, etc. It looks legit but if I want to get them working the wood would take a LOT of work. I'm not skilled enough yet to fix it. I'll save it until either I or an expert can repair it. But I'd like to be able to shoot these rifles in the meantime. One has been slathered in pine tar or some thick black lacquer.

Our drill sgt. used to say "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people asking them."Not nearly stupid enough to be the Stupid Question of the Week. I doubt it would even make the cut as Stupid Question of the Day.
But I think he felt his job was to make us feel like idiots, at least in the beginning. He was pretty successful at it.
Pre '64 stocks are usually older. The question wasn't stupid but the answer is pretty smart-alec.

Do you happen to know if they are pre- or post-1964 designated?

Don't know about post 64 stuff. These were originally pantographed from pre 64 originals and will be perfect for final inletting for those. Originals were all very close patterned. No weird reciever widths or yearly and different country of manufacture cost cutting tricks like post 64 Winchester's of all types. If yours is pos t64 then these would be good for someone else.

That looks like a 92 stock -- curved buttplate, etc. Did Winchester even make any Model 92s post-1964?

One of my 94s has a curved buttplate (the rifle). One is a saddle-ring carbine
