(If you use furniture-stripper on the front stock, then refinish both with stain & BLO, they'd probably look pretty close. Regardless of wood-types.)
I've never had a "yen" for a super short barrelled carbine. I did think the Rossi ranch hand was a cool stile of gun and so I bought one and replaced only the sights.
Now I can hunt with a handgun in Alberta. (you may follow the CFS classification and call it a "short long gun" if you like but to me, it full fills my definition of a handgun)

wow now this is sweet !!! Ok so what is this worth new? used?Precision stock has arrived. Just slipped it in place, fit is good , a little final fitting is required, no problem. Butt is crescent with a tab on top, have to source some brass or form one from 1/8 " steel. Leaning towards brass. Makes the gun 29" long. One handy little 44 mag carbine for camp or truck.
Some online for $ 549 to $ 599. Stock was $ 90 to my door from Precision in Texas. Great service from them. Got a butt pad yesterday, will prob shorten the stock a bit yet. Trial and error, may take off a couple of inches, hard to put it back on if it's too short.
Ranch Hand almost finished. LOP 12 1/4 " Overall length 28 1/2 " Skinner ghost ring. Shoulders very well, sights are good even with bi-focals. The lever size will be reduced next. A little too big so a little cut, reshape and tig like another one posted on here. Love this place, good ideas but hurt the wallet.
