For 1885 parts, "winchesterbob" just refers you to MVA, which I suppose is helpful if you've never heard of MVA.

Thanks for everyone's reply's. I have spent several hours on the net trying to find parts to no avail. I need wood for both and a few internal parts. I have a cousin that ran a shop for many years and is not long for this world (cancer) and he gave me these two in return for helping him sort through years of "stuff". I really wanted to get these two completed while he is still with us but I fear time is short. Yes I tried Jack First and no good. I will keep looking. Thanks everybody.

If you're looking for original stocks I can't help much. But for nice semi inletted stock sets for your Winchesters you should try Precision Gun Works in Texas. They make very nice stocks for old lever guns and single shots that don't need a ton of work to be fitted.
