Hi all, I recently aquired my grandfathers guns, the first of which I want to fix up is his old .22 single shot Winchester model 60a, it has a broken stock with the broken bit missing, so as per his wishes to fix it up and use it, so far I need a new stock and sight ramp to fix it up but don't know where to start at all, so I was hoping that someone here might be able to help?

The Damage of the Stock:

Welcome.
I don't think that repros are made. You might check if Numrich(Gun Parts Corp) has any used ones.Ebay might have one from time to time,but some sellers won't ship outside of the US and ebay blocks sales of certain items( I tried to sell a scope recently-no luck),plus their Global shipping plan is expensive.
I actually think that you'd be better off with having someone in Oz duplicate your stock.

Can't help with a parts source up here that's willing to ship overseas. Called a couple of my cobbers about parts without any luck. Here's a short M60 blip you might find interesting in the meantime.

"In 1934, Winchester added a wing-type safety, made the bolt handle a little larger, went back to a walnut stock and renamed it the Model 67, which stayed in production through 1963."

Get a piece of dark walnut. Make a yellow shape about like what the three blue data points represent. Straight lines for a flat triangle. With the right-left right thickness. Remove stock wood forming straight flat surfaces to make a base to epoxy the yellow shape into. Shape the edges of the yellow insert as needed.

Using the data points to form a patch is easier than trying to shape stock curves and then match with shaping the patch. Make a easy shape patch and then fit it into the stock.

Minor patch. Done all the time with military rifles. See “Lithgow Factory Through Repair FTR.
