Hi, lithgo and welcome to milsurps.
It sounds like you will need a complete stock set with nosecap and outer band with swivel. Getting the right parts made by the correct factory will be the issue, and depending on what part of the world you are in, could be easy or expensive.
Where abouts roughly are you on the planet?
Note the free Microsoft program specifically, mentioned in the first link. This FREE PowerToy enables you to resize one or many image files with a single (right-click) I use the 800x600 mode for resizing with it and it gets small pics for easy uploads, yet maintains excellent resolution and details for Internet viewing ..... and it's FREE !!!!
There is supposed to be a HUGE lot of wood showing up in Canada one of these fine days. I just don't know about shipping it, what with the current bureaucracy and dfences along out undefended border.
I do know that Springfield Sporters (you have the link to ssporters) had wood as of last week. Sixty bucks a set. They also have all other parts you would want for a restoration, some new. It was takeoff wood from Indian DP rifles, but you can do a lot of restoration with a can of Brake-Kleen, some FINE sandpaper (160 or higher), a washcloth and the wife's iron (when she isn't looking).
Lots of help on here, so don't be afrai to come back and ask questions.
