I wonder if re-doing the stock head is much cheaper than a whole stock redo. I'd guess that 70-80% of the labor cost of a stock in in the head

My guess is that it may be close to the same price of making and finishing a whole new stock, when you consider the precision work involved in fitting the new head to the back half.
