Compression sounds fine to me. I wouldn't rebuild it for that. But if it's bea like you say, it may have issues somewhere else that a rebuild would cover.

I'd check one of the sponsors here. Dean and Curt usually have a good supply of parts. Beyond them, check ebay. I wouldn't go to a dealer and pay top dollar for parts for a beat saw.
In what way are they shot? Smashed, fire, cracked? Your compression numbers are on the low side of allowable. If that saw is badly beat it could have issues with seals and bearings and would be worth the rebuild.

For the muffler, go to your Stihl dealer and order a 1122 140 0800. This is the factory dual port cover that used to be standard. Clean, simple and a bolt on. Retune as needed to keep the saw running correctly.
For the other parts, you're looking at eBay, someone here, or a local saw shop to find them if you're looking for used. Otherwise, if you want new, you're going to pay good money for them new. You can buy aftermarket handlebars that are much less xpensive than new Stihl bars, but used ones aren't too hard to find either. Sprocket covers are a little harder to find in good shape, for a reasonable price.

Compression varies, and there's ranges. Most say that 150+ for a new saw. 120-150 for a used saw, but still good. Below 110-120 is suspect, and you'll notice a loss of power. You'll need to go to a dealer or someone with the proper blanking plate to perform a vaccum/pressure check.
A rebuild? If you're talking rings, seals, bearings, carb kit, you'd be give or take $200.

I hate to disagree with everyone (sure..), but 130 compression on an 066 sucks... it's at the end of it's life... These saws work great at 145-160, but really are failing fast at 130. Time for new rings and piston... maybe the bore is o.k...
If all you need is seals and a piston/rings/carb kit about $135 if you do it your self.. and use genuine parts.

Not sure what you mean by "what should the bore be at"?
The chain cover (non wrap version) is the same for 024 (side adjuster),0 26, 036, 044, 046, 066 etc..

I have a half wrap from my old 066 that's in good shape, if you're interested.
