I'm tempted to do the same with my Chinese SKS too. So as long as I strip the outer layer's finish or stain my stock should also reveal the awesome natural wood pattern as yours I presume. A durable clear coat to finish it off.
You should be able to get some idea of the grain before you actually go at it. For me it was getting rid of the sticky cosmo feel that required the deep cleaning.

Those look great!!
I got one from marstar last month then ordered a tapco stock and removeable magazine from frontier fire arms.... Put it together yesterday and it was awesome. But I still love the classic look too so I'm planning to get another one of the same rifle but not modify it at all.
Nice lookinh rigs, it's nice to see ome with original wood.
For sure... I like the original looking ones. No mags, sights, bi-pods, firing pin spring, trigger job, ad nauseam. But that's just me...

Is the trigger group milled? It looks like it is.
Nice job on the stocks, they look great.
Polytech and norinco do export everything. They don't make anything. They are they exporters setup to export the state manufactured guns from the state run aresenals.
Even the military guns from china have norinco or polytech etched into them in the USA.
Really the difference in Chinese SKS falls to whether it was made initially as military production or as a civilian production from spare parts. Marstar's are milsurp. The serial number only markings would indicate a 1970s production run when it seems the practice of engraving the arsenal fell away. It was picked up again in the late 70s up to 1980, the last year of chinese military production SKS.
The latest batch from marstar includes some 79 and 80 versions from factory 26, as indicated by 23 and 24 million series serial numbers and Bakelite gas tube covers.
Oh, and to the op beautiful work cleaning those stocks!!!
