A lot of single barrel traps have been heavily altered. So it is understandable that you have one that you are wanting to put right. And because of that, finding unaltered orphaned stocks can be difficult. But anything is out there.

Remember that all these guns are hand made and very greatly from gun to gun. A stock from one gun will not always work on any other gun. Usually they do not without a good amount of messing around.

Right now I am finishing up a Parker SC for a member of this board where I am replacing the original hacked up stock with a good replacement from another gun. He bought the replacement stock right off the ‘for sale’ section of this board by the way.
The replacement stock needed a lot of work on my part to make it work on his gun and be properly fitted.

Of course, if it is in your budget, a new stock made for the gun is the absolute best way to go.

What Brian said is true, finding a Parker made replacement is possible but may need a lot of work to make it fit or it may not be possible to fit it at all. I've tried many Parker SBT stocks and did find one that was possible to be fitted but it's not perfect. I've also found other stocks but the top of the stock head has a sharp radius and usually that has chipped off needing repair. The stock on my gun had about 1" cut off but was reattached. Only the width of the saw blade was missing. The grain was off just a little bit.
