[dgr416]

I just bought a new jap made 1886 winchester round barrel straight stock but it has the curved butt stock .Is there anyone who makes these stocks the the straight butt plate so I can shoot this with heavier loads .I didnt know if ones made for original rifles would fit it .I am probally going to change the sites I csnt use the factory ones past 50 yards .Its like new good looking rifle in 45-70 .

You could try Winchester. Order a SRC stock.
You could also just cut the one you have and add a recoil pad.
You could adjust your shooting position to the proper position for the crescent stock.

I for one find the crescents very uncomfortable, and it has nothing to do with where placed, there isnt any way they feel comfortable to me, and are extremely unpleasant with heavy loads.

I had the crescent cut off a Browning 86 rifle and a flat pad put on, but thats not as good as a true shotgun butt, which has more cross section in both directions, and less drop to the comb and heel. The carbine butts are better than the rifle butts, but neither are as good as the true shotgun butt. They used the shotgun butt on the 1886 extra-light rifle. I traded into one for my 86 rifle. Its a work in progress, but a huge improvement overall in handling. You may be able to buy one either new or used.

I dont know if the replacement stocks for originals will fit the Miroku guns, I suspect they will, but it will likely require a bit more fitting than installing one on an original. My vote would be replace any crescent butts with a true shotgun butt on any of the older models.
