Where is a good place to get a nice 94 Win. stock

I'm looking to get a nice walnut stock for my 94. I had a website saved that had some beautiful stocks for a 94 but do to my computer crashing those are long gone. I'm looking for a French/English walnut stock with lots of character and figure.

Restoring a 95 Winnie?

I've been thinking of having my 95 restored. It shoots really good, and I'm thinking that it needs to look as good as it shoots. What do you guys think? Here are a few pics of it right now: http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii304/shawn_c992001/18951.jpg http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii304/shaw...
