Not sure what you mean by d"doing a build" but I wouldn't make any changes to this rifle if it 's in original condition. If all you want is the action, they can be bought.

Once you modify it becomes worthless. Better to hang it up on your mantle than to switch parts out if you aren't going to keep it original.
Sounds like it is pretty well used up. May as well use the action.

Would it restore collector's value if he put a correct replacement barrel on it rather than some non-Winchester barrel?

:yeah: No matter what barrel you put on it, the action and rest of the parts are always going to be worth what they're with. I have a 1957 M70 featherweight, and if it is ever shot out it is going to get either overbored or rebarreled. A pre-64 is part of a storied class of firearms, but not every one is a museum piece.
I say do whatever you want to it today will make you want to use it. With a sporter barrel contour you could likely overbore it to another belted mag round, provided the shoulder and other dims are compatible, etc.

Yeah, if the barrel is shot out I can't imagine that it would be worth any more than any other pre-64 action plus stock. .264 WinMag is known as a barrel burner.

That is what is known as a "circle P' barrel. Marked as a replacement part. It is all but impossible to locate a 264 barrel that isn't a circle P that does not have the throat burnt out.
