"...NOT close on a Field gauge..." Definitely safe to shoot.
Smith Corona S/N's are here. http://www.vishooter.net/sc_serialization.txt
I'd be inclined to replace the giant scope(2.5 x 8 x 40 fits better) and refinish the stock and leave it be. Cloning it will cost a big pile of money you'll never get back.
However, Boyds does make a proper walnut stock and hand guard. $129 and $45 respectively(far more expensive from Gunparts.). No metal though.
That's the stuff that adds up quickly. Sling swivel screws, for example, run $3.50 each. $2.75 for a front sight base bin that's not included in the front sight assembly. Adds up to an internal organ sale PDQ. Gunparts lists all of it, but it's not cheap.
