On all the Model 94's?
I have one made in 1978, it's the prettiest rifle I own. I'm pretty certain the stock is walnut. Could I be incorrect? If so, it certainly fooled me, and all my friends!

Winchester started to make some quality improvements on the '94 in 1972; for example the cartridge lifter became a cast part rather than stamped. Much more solid, but still not forged steel. They may have gone back to walnut around then. But those first post-'64 stocks were indeed stained birch.
