I had a Jaeger single shot rifle (Tip up) that was missing the forearm and had a friend that taught machining at the local high school using much more sophisticated equipment than you would expect. I also had another rifle, the same model as the one that was missing the forearm. My friend was able to photograph the good forearm and convert the photos to a program for the school's machining center he was able to machine a duplicate of the forearm iron, which my gunsmith friend was able to fit to the rifle together with a forearm latch I had and matching wood he had and built a new forearm. Using his magic, he matched the checkering and matched the border engraving on the rifle's action. It turned out well, but If I had to do it again (I can't, my machinist friend passed away) I would allow .005" extra to leave room for fitting (the example we used had been hand fit to the other rifle and was a little off center). If we had left a little extra material, the fit up would have been easier. This general procedure can work with the WC Scott, with the caveat that a forearm for a double would be much more complicated than the single shot rifle.
