M94 or M92. They are the same. That blank has so much sap wood in it that's why it was never used. Honestly, it's firewood. If you need a nice blank I can fix you up. I have a sawmill and cut my own walnut and mill it. I just finished stocking and carving a M94. I started stocking guns in 1980. Gary

That is some pretty cool looking carving.

How long did it take to get that stock completed, start to finish you think?

The carving is the style Winchester used from about 1875 to 1920. It's the most deluxe pattern and called "Style A".

I didn't keep close track of time but counting fitting the wood to the gun I'd guess 50 or 60 hrs. Just a guess. Gary
