Remmington 03a3 sniper?

[zadmat]

My father was in the Marines and gave me a Remmington 03A3 and it has parkerized metal on everything, it has the original scope mount but a Redfield 4x scope and the stock has been cut, so missing the upper wood and on barrel and about a foot of it on the end. I shot this rifle a few years ago and at 100 yards the bullet holes actually touched each other, he always said it was extremely accurate. I would like to return to original condition with scope, sling, stock and the piece at the very end of stock that I believe is for a bayonet. Anyone know where I could find original stock? I have tried to research it but maybe it's not worth it, anyone know value? I will try to post pictures, if I can figure it out. The stamp is RA 8 43 and model 3415588 which I believe makes it 1 of 28,000? The metal is in great condition.
I tried to research myself and look for stock, but want to make sure do it right, biggest question, is it worth restoring? I mean if the gun is worth only $500 restored when I am done, maybe I keep it the way it is. The local gun shops here are saying it's only worth $250 $300 as it is, of course they haven't seen it, just described it to them. Also how long does the chrome in barrel last or hold up? Sorry I have a lot of questions. Upon further review it may not be chrome barrel. Also the scope mount says redfield on it.
