The original rifle stock did not fit a bipod, not really a WW1 thing :) Gunbroker, and eBay are good places to hunt for stocks.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

The question is, which do you enjoy shooting more? Which do you enjoy looking at more? Which do you enjoy owning more?
