Even at $300 it's a good deal. A brand new stock, hand fit with love from you is ~$250

Worst case scenario you need a new barrel to make it a good shooter...brand new criterion is $200 and in stock at CMP...but they take 2 months to ship right now they are so far behind.
Your front sight is $20 at SS. https://www.ssfirearms.com/proddetail.asp?prod=17en6
Sounds like all the other miscellany parts that would be expensive are already on the rifle.
$40 for a reamer rental and you have a shooter for for under $1k? Most serviceable examples are going for $1200 - parts queen or not. Right now I wouldn't let an extra $150 stop me if I was ready to work on it now. Even as a parts queen, you'll make up that value easily as things escalate over the next 4 or(hopefully not) 8 years. Heck. If I had pictures and the name of your shop I might even buy it out from under you at $300 (mostly kidding ).
