The recoil plate is separate from the receiver and can be swapped out as they're more available than the stocks.
Depending on the caliber of your 88, for example if it's a 358, I've been known to buy a less expensive 308 to have a nicer stock. Pre and post '64 is also a consideration.
I've found all 88 stocks to be interchangeable.
You may want to start a thread on "Winchester Collectors" Forum here on the fire, also. Good guys!
Good luck! You've got a tough search.
