Goofy project advice

[u/nammaheff]

The other day I came across a steal of a deal on a Poly USA marked SKS that's been pretty bubba'd so I had a thought. If I can find a set of Russian wood, I can make sort of a "sino/soviet" SKS which will be the basis for a build that'll include parts from a bunch of different countries of origin. Pretty much an unholy combination of a yugo barrel, a Chinese receiver, Russian furniture, and whatever other parts I can find. Sounds kind of neat right?

Well here's the part I'm stuck on... As expected a Russian stock isn't exactly a one-to-one fit. Manufacturing tolerances from communist countries strikes again. Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this build, I should ask if anybody's come across a similar issue, where they shaved, how much, and if I can do this with no experience or if it's better for me to take it to someone who can.
