Aimsurplus SKS stock

I found this stock on Aimsurplus' website, it's the middle one. I can get it shipped to my door for 21 bucks. What do you think the quality would be like? And do you think it would fit my Yugo?

quality i can't say, you will have to finish and coat it. Teak oil does a nice job. AS for fitting a yugo, it will.

I do like the synthetic stock though. it's pretty sexy

I have ordered one from another place long ago. I do not know what wood it was made from but it was the softest stuff I have ever seen and very bad fit. I don't know about the ones from AIM, may need to call and find out what they are made of.

If the wood is soft, sand it to your desired finish, put several coats of teak oil on it, and finish it with Acra-Glas. The teak oil will soak into the wood and harden and the Acra-Glas will produce a finish that is near impervious. If you decide to go this route, let me know and I'll P.M. the procedure for the Acra-Glas to ya-it's a bit tricky to work with.

You can finish it out to have pretty much any finish you want. Applied straight, it is a glossy light amber color which really compliments most woods. It's a pain to work with, but I like it for guns that will be shot a lot. I use it on a lot of my pistol grips.

if you don't want acra glas, i used spray on polyurethane, spar urethane specifically. Acra glas is great, but a pain. 3-4 coats of poly did the job on mine
