Realistically; $1800-$2000 as you describe it.
If you split up the items. You could expect;
$1650-1800 for the chassis.
$450-$600 for the rifle out of the chassis.
You would have much better luck selling something like that in the EE if it's sold separately. Anybody who is in the market for a JAE already has a rifle to put in it.
I'd start at $1900 for the chassis and expect to be bargained down from there.
For under $100 you should be able to find a standard plastic stock for your rifle and either keep it or sell it as a complete rifle separate from the chassis.

OP, the way you worded your post ("I believe...") it sounds as though you are not 100% certain that the stock is a JAE at all. My apologies if I am wrong, but I would suggest that you make certain that it is a genuine JAE and not the similar-appearing Archangel stock, which is worth a tiny fraction of the JAE's value.
I recently bought a rifle purported to be a genuine article, which turned out to be an imported copy worth considerably less than I paid. The seller may have made an honest mistake in his appraisal of the item, but was unwilling to correct the problem after the sale, resulting in some unpleasant exchanges and a very unhappy customer (me). If I were you I would make certain that I had identified the stock correctly before selling it and possibly opening up a can of large and ugly worms.

Another thing to consider is that even if it is a genuine JAE stock make sure that you advise the new seller that there was an M305 mounted in it.
If it is anything like the Archangel stock there would have to be some trimming done to the stock to make the receiver fit.
I'm sure someone mounting either a Springfield Armory or an LRB receiver in it would not want to be looking at the trimmed area.
Just post some pics and the more knowledgeable folks on this site will let you know if it's the genuine article.

this is not correct I'm afraid.... well, the last sentence is, but your general statement is totally incorrect..... no offense meant.
The JAE series of rifle chassis and sage and troy and all "usgi" inlet patterned stocks/chassis , are essentially a drop in fit for the M305. There are TWO modifications required in some cases. One applies to ALL m14 type rifles regardless of manufacture and that is trigger lock up. Troy and JAE have adjustments, sage does not so trigger housing is modified till lock up is achieved. The other modification applies to most Norinco but also any M14 type rifle with a "short" or "NM" length connector pin, requires a plug or filling of this recess in the USGI inlet patterned stocks/chassis.
If a stock or chassis is made for the genuine "M14" rifle and is intended to house a USGI pattern rifle, the norinco action is a drop in fit, save for the mods above.
If the stock is made for the Springfield M1A series of rifles , the stock will need to be modified to fit a norinco action at the receiver bedding plane, right side of the stock/receiver.
you can take that info to the bank.
as for if the chassis is a JAE , it will be a machined titanium or aluminum chassis with an overmolded, type shell. If it is all plastic, it's not a JAE.
Check out wolverine supplies I think, for pricing. Don't let one greasy mother from the EE chew down your price either.
JAE chassis hold their value if undamaged so decide on your selling price and tell the lowballers to pound the proverbial sand
They can either afford it..... or they can't LOL
