Thanks for the insight, I do have a faxed record form from the Cody museum. It does not specifically state pistol or straight grip. The report gives basic stock demensions and a symbol #.
The symbol #,G2187B,shows up on two charts in Schwings book.Both charts show that symbol # as haveing a pistol grip. The stock does look original to me.I am not a Winchester expert.Did Winchester stamp the serial# anywhere on the stock?
Thanks again Dave
