Hi Steve.

Your best bet for locating a replacement stock is to contact a gunsmith.  Many of them have special sources for locating old replacement parts or they might even be able to make you a new stock depending on how important this is to you.  Try your local yellow pages first but don't hesitate to look up some remote gunsmiths on the web since they can always ship the part to you.

Chances are that you don't want to spend a lot of money on a reblue and new stock for an old display piece.  It might be cheaper to just buy a new gun for the parts or to display the new gun in lieu of your existing gun.  The following sites usually have a lot of old or used shotguns on sale from time to time.  If you check them once a week or so you are likely to find a similar shotgun for sale and you might even find the parts you are after:
