Do you have a pattern? Finding someone with a pattern to duplicate will be the hard part.
Anyone with a pattern can do it with no problem.

I have the original stock.

I would call Mark Weader and ask him if he can dupe your original stock. My concern would be having to add wood to be able to attach the original in his duplicate without damage to the original stock. The number below is in his shop, he works 2nd shift but if you leave him a number he will call you back usually he is in the shop around 9AM or so.

I have bought several very nice doubles in years past that had horribly busted stocks. I glued them back together for a pattern and sent the semi-repaired stock to Fred and an outstanding piece of walnut to fred and I'd get back a gun that nearly jumped together.

Usually not a problem. Back when I did this kind of stuff, I would attach a block of wood to the butt with double stick tape. I had another block of wood with a dowel glued to it that was inserted into the ramrod hole. Barring that, the forestock can be supported with gunstock braces that most guys also have.
