I purchased a 1885 Winchester low wall chambered in 22 lr it was manufactured in 1888 and in 1903 Harry Pope installed one of his barrels on it. And it has a beautiful stock and for-end
Created by a master stock maker. My question is there anyone
On the forum that could possibly identify the maker of the stock and fore-end
If i post photos. 
P.S,
I tried to post photos ,but i cant resize them under 500kb

Welcome to the ASSRA Forum !

Some stockmakers had a distinct pattern that can be identified by certain features. These stockmakers that were often associated with better-known custom gunmaking shops. For example, Thomas Shelhamer's work with A.O. Niedner -or- Nowicki's (sp?) work for Zettler Bros.

Please post photos when available.

1903, it would've been a Stevens-Pope barrel, no?

How do you know it was barreled in 1903?
