Today I'm taking care of a neglected Winchester mod. 1906 pump action rim fire rifle. It used to be a very common gallery gun back in the early 1900s, and had the peculiarity of feeding reliably both 22 short and 22 long/long rifle. However, this specimen was not only thoroughly rusted, but also had a shortened stock, which I had to repair in order to put it back in working order.

Don't worry about the differences in the wood colors. There is nothing wrong with a well-done repair being visible after the finish of the restoration. It's witness to another chapter in the story of a loved, used, forgotten and found tool that likely fed the family many meals, rid them of pests, provide an enjoyable pastime and after all that, because of your work, stands ready to continue it's service. Instead, ask what you think the worker who first built it would think if they could see it now.

I'm a professional woodworker. First off, VERY SMART move using the cuttoff bansaw. That's probably the safest way you could have done that, short of sawing it by hand. Second, as others have said, the different color of the stock wood isn't an issue for me. When I see woodworking projects, I personally tend to admire the work and craftsmanship that went into the end product. Sure the stock is 2 different colors. But you can tell the repair was done by somebody who was willing to take the time to make it look and feel nice. Good work, my man.

The point about use by children is a good guess. Many of these pump rifles, especially .22 rifles, were used in amusement parks and traveling carnivals as "Gallery Guns" in Shooting Galleries. The classic "Hit the target and win a Kewpie Doll" challenge. In those days, young children using rifles in that way under supervision (With .22 Shorts the usual round) was something that was pretty common.

You have to identify the wood, find or make a stock using the same wood, and match or hide the wood patterns, it's easy to go to further than necessary The mis-match colours look like a practical & resourceful repair made to save as much of the original as possible, that's the flair of your restoration here and I like it

Wow! What a trip I've taken down memory lane right now. My great-grandfather was gifted one of these Winchesters by an American about a century ago, and over the years all the kids learned to shoot with it. A sweet little rifle, lovely to handle, totally reliable and very accurate. Unfortunately it was stolen in a robbery several years ago; such a shame. Watching this video, I knew every angle, every contour of the rifle; how the pump action feels; the twisting of the magazine rod. The only difference is that ours had a rear ring sight that folded down, which I think was added later. It was lovely to see this one come back to life.

Another successful restoration! That's exceptional accuracy for a 107 year old rifle, too. I'd say you did a good job with the stock repair, considering. I've heard of people taking shortened stocks like that and making them into adjustable ones, but frankly that would be difficult to make it look right with modern hardware on such a old rifle. Your solution looks to be a very solid option that'll hold up for years, though. The "donor" stock appears to be a completely different type of wood, so it wasn't going to perfectly match no matter what you tried.

@@maximhoward4612 there are paints for modeling made to look exactly like rust. Rust does not appear on wood like this. The entire gun would also not have an even coat of rust. Also, all the screws are all brand or with little to know rust. I make props for a living. I know what I’m talking about.

I like how you use a screw to pull the butt stock repair together! Next time, consider 2mm (1/16") layer of very black wood or phenolic sandwiched between the to pieces of lighter wood. Since you can't match the grain, this neat black line makes the repair look intentional. The same thickness of material is added between the end of the stock and a recoil pad. You could also have gone back and added darker stain to your lighter piece once you found your mistake, it's very forgiving stuff. Thank you for saving that old rifle, my father had one as a boy and he never tired of telling me all about it, and how he would save up his money to buy ammuntion at the hardware store.
