OHA is Otto H. Armstrong, an inspector at Rock Island Arsenal. The stock should have RI stamped on the front tip.

That rifle might have its original barrel and stock, which would increase its value. It is also a "high number" RIA M1903 so it is considered safe to shoot. The other numbers on the stock are probably an inspector marking (inside) and a rack number (outside).

Gun with missing front portion of the stock

That's really unfortunate. The handguard has also been shortened.

Instead of replacing the stock, I would repair the stock because it is probably the original stock with cartouche. You can get a replacement forestock at http://www.gunpartscorp.com/ad/1088120.htm and have a stock repairman graft it onto the current stock.

You will also need:

Upper band http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/523710.htm
Upper band screw http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/522940A.htm
Stacking swivel http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/523230.htm

Can't tell from your pictures but you might also need a front sling swivel.
