THOP, I have a 3rd Model Winder that was converted to .25-20 WCF by relining the (rotted)bore and converting the block. I discarded the long forend and barrel band (both were in sad condition)and put a dovertail filler block in the vestigial mainspring dovetail and tapped the forend screw into it. Made a fair facsimile of a plain sporter forend out of the remains of the musket forend. Then replaced the musket stock (same condition as forend--"kindling grade") with a plain sporting stock and buttplate. What can I say--it shoots!
