Winchester 1906 Mod .22

The Winchester was with it's owner on the horse cart. The rifle was positioned near the wheel. The cart hit a stone in the road, and the rifle fell into the wheel's spokes. It broke the stock, and the shot went off and killed the owner.
My grandfather bought the rifle on the auction for 5 bags of yellow maize. My father's older brother repaired the stock with pieces of leather and nails. The mechanism was repaired as well.
