You'd be suprised how there is actually some decent wood under all that crud when you first get them. My Yugo SKS had some awsome wood after a few sanding sessions.
which set were you looking at?...the plastic set is the complete one and the wood from tapco i dont have all of the appropriate pieces to make it all fit together proper
i am hesitant to part with it until i know if the new wood is what i want...if i ever end up selling it i want to sweeten the deal with some different kinds of furnature etc
