Does anyone know where I could track down a take off Winchester Supergrade Long Action walnut stock?

Watch eBay if the classifieds don’t produce. CDNN used to have them but no longer. 1 or 2 piece bm?

I should have read your whole post. I believe GunBroker may have them.

I’m new to Winchester’s so forgive my ignorance.

Are there any differences between a standard Supergrade stock and a Featherweight Supergrade?
I would guess the barrel channel is a smaller diameter on the featherweight, can that be opened up to accept a 30-06 Supergrade sporter barrel

You are correct.

Yes; it is possible.

like most things, it gets confusing... my stock is NOT! a featherweight "Super Grade", it's a Featherweight "Custom Grade" stock... which i think? was made for the USRAC(New Haven) custom shop featherweight rifles... it has the standard skinny featherweight style Schnabel fore end... there were also some later BACO (Browning) limited runs of Win Featherweight "Super grades" that had a shorter/lighter version of the full size SG stock and had the standard wide SG fore end with the black tip... although possible, i would "NOT" recommend opening up the already weak featherweight Schnabel style fore end to accept a thicker barrel... just my opinion!...

thank you for solving the ?...

Caveat to be attentive to "era" of Model 70 as you shop! Only your reference to "long action" provided a clue of not pre '64! Also the notation of 'heads up' re old pads which may be hard!
Good luck!
