The stock looks like some grade school kid whittled it with a dull pocket knife. I’ve had perhaps 50-60 Winchesters over the last 60 years and NEVER have had a stock as poorly shaped as this one. It does have a “W” in the stock well….the Handguard (4 rivet)…is “W” marked as are all of the normal markings…didn’t realize that a 4 rivet handguard went with high wood oval stock. On the inside rear of the receiver…it looks like a “new-born”. I don’t know what the last owner (s?) did with it from 2003 until today. Still has white residue preservative powder in crevices. The rear sight is NOT staked.At least no one shot it.
