    It can be patched, but will be noticeable. Hardest part is finishing a piece of wood that matches.

    so basically just find the type of wood used on the stock and wood glue it to the stock sand it down to match the stocks curves and varnish it and i should be good ?

    Yes and no.

    Most of the older Model 94s were made with walnut stocks, and they were oil finished versus varnished.

    If the cut or break is easy to match up with then yes that will work. Also would suggest if it is large to connect with a wood pin on the inside joining ares. If it looks like a real tough job then I would search for a new stock. If the rifle is not real old you can probably find one to match the forearm.

    Hello Rem721,
    As usual, Bert is correct.. Depending on the vintage, your stock may be an oil finish and not varnished. When you re-stain the wood, make it match the forearm wood. Most older Winchesters have a reddish tint to them. You may have to test some of the wood you use as a patch to get the right mix of stain to match things up.

    If you can post a picture of the stock I can probably find you a similar grained piece of walnut that you could use to patch it.

    If it's going to be a hunting gun, then a clean but visible repair is acceptable. Just plane the break to a flat surface for mating to the repair piece, and if a large piece is needed, use dowels for reinforcement as already suggested. A close match in color and grain structure can probably be had from most gunsmith's old buttstock piles, and stain really does cover differences.

    Stock repair can be very noticeable if it is a large chunk. I have never had much luck without it being somewhat obvious or noticeable. If you are looking to replace the stock, we have a few new Winchester 94 stocks and forearms. Also, have a few new AA Fancy checkered and AAA Fancy checkered stocks. If interested, or have any questions, just drop me an email
