Rifle Stocks

Fri Nov 24, 2017 5:29 pm

Been liquidating my father-in-law's estate and came across two rifle stocks. Was wondering if some one could venture a guess as to what type of rifles they belong to and what they are worth They both appear to be left handed and one hasn't been cut out for the receiver yet (this one has "SUPERION" on the side). Thanks

You need a shot looking straight down into the action.

Can you open the links to the pictures?

The first stock has an unusual tang shape to it. I am not an expert on all rifle types, but I am guessing something other than the big 3 or Mauser.

The second stock is not inletted, except for a narrow barrel channel having been routed.

I might be interested in the #2 if you can provide some overall dimensions.

First one is a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 with cloverleaf tang (Like 1950 and earlier).
Second is just a blank.

I should add... wipe them down with a little liquid to bring out the grain for pictures. You might have some better than rack grade wood there. Looks like it has real potential.
