By no means would I go to the expense of putting a new stock on the gun. If you can find the missing piece, great. If you can't, clean up the break and accra-glas a small piece of walnut on, then work down to the shape necessary. Stain to (closely) match the stock, attach buttpad if desired. A good gunstocker could do this at far less than a new stock. AS a finish carpenter you could probably do it better than most. You will never recoup all of your costs via a new stock. Been there, done that.
