Stocks aren't that bad, but pricey. There are actually two on fleabay now, a C-stock and a Scant. Just search "1903A4". Looks like you have a Scant now, so I would go with that. It is correct for your rebuilt rifle.

How short is the stock now? Grafting a new forend on the butt is a cheaper option, if too much has not been cut off the buttstock.

If the barrel is cut, you could always have a regular A3 barrel installed. Remove the front sight base and have it parked to match. Not correct, but your not hurting the value, and you might learn to live with it until an original passes your way.

ZADMAT these are twoo good leads on correct stocks. As Mike points out either would work and they have the advantage of coming with the barrel guard, stock metal and sling. According to my data most of the original rifles in your s/n range would have come with the full pistol grip version ("C") of the Stock, M1903A1. For a hundred bucks I would grab the "C" stock on the buy it now if its do-able. Good stocks are few and far between.
