Info needed on Winchester 1902 1904 Single Shot

[HuskyDude]

Recently picked up a Winchester 1902 single shot.
After doing some research, found out the 02 has been fitted with a 1904 stock.

Wondering if anyone has/or could take some detailed pics of the 04 butt plate for me.

(Random pics)

I was going to ask if the OEM screw were flat or Phillips...
but then remembered Phillips wasn't invented till the early 30s.

History
In 1899, Winchester wanted to market a simple and affordable .22 caliber rifle for use in hunting small game or just for recreational shooting. Then-Winchester employee John Browning and his brother Matthew designed a weapon for this purpose, with Winchester buying the design in mid 1899 from Browning.

After buying the patent from the Browning brothers, Winchester marketed the weapon as the Winchester Single Shot Rifle Model 1900 in their 1899 catalog. The introduction of this weapon heralded Winchester's entry into the market for inexpensive .22 caliber bolt-action rifles. The weapon did not sell as well as Winchester had hoped, as the weapon was noted as being far too light and noted as being cheaper in construction when compared to the offerings from its competitors. Some 105,000 were produced before it was discontinued.

After the Model 1900 was discontinued, the Model 1900 was redesigned into the Model 1902, the next generation in Winchester's single shot .22 caliber bolt-action rifles. Most notably included in the Winchester Junior Rifle Corps Range Kit,[3] the Model 1902 was even more successful than its predecessor, with some 640,299 produced. This was followed on with the Model 1904 which introduced a heavier barrel and a more elaborate stock[1] for use by adults.Some 305,984 were produced.[5]

By 1927, sales of the Model 1902 and 1904 were beginning to slip as many other companies decided to imitate the design of the rifles and market them as their own at a lower price than Winchester's offerings. Desperate to hold the market, Winchester marketed the Model 58, 59 and 60 in 1928, 1930 and 1931 respectively.

Nobody has an 1904 Winchester .22 ???
Edit:
Went over to RFC to look around and found this...
Maybe it is the OEM stock with a "Composition butt plate".
Will keep looking.

No I believe it is a 04 stock with a 02 barrel.
Even the trigger guard are different between the two.

Think I'll see how she cleans up.
Again failed to take a before pic...but here's all the rust and pitting removed, next will try re-bluing (cold)

Stocks is rough, deep scratches and holes in the wood. Will try steaming, but have my doubts.

Got my 02 back together.
After taking the varnish off or whatever it was, Tried steaming out some dents.
Some came out, lots didn't.
Few coats of Miniwax Antique oil, removed the rust, cold blued the barrel and stuck it back together.
Wish I could find some flats screws, but for now I had some older Philips that worked.

Here's one a friend came across. From my research, was produced between 1914 and '27, due to "Extra Long" designation, and Composition buttplate.
Of course this one must be the rare "Target: model, with high-tech aftermarket sight addition.
