I have an unfinished Boyd's stock in the garage somewhere.... I ordered up 2 more in March..... Still haven't shipped out yet....
Last time I ordered from Boyd's, it was a 2-3 week wait to receive them to my door.... Not quite sure what the hold-up is this time....
You see USGI fiberglass and wood stocks up in the EE from time to time. Seems like a good option as well.

Boyds gunstocks sells finished wood stocks without the hardware for $104 USD plus shipping. Occasionally they will sell unfinished ones for about $50.
Mystic Precision does bulk orders from Boyds periodically. You would have to order the hardware separately from a company like treelinem14 or Brownell's
You can order a complete Springfield Armory M1A stock (finished with all the hardware) from Springfield Armory directly, or order from Brownell's. I believe they're $260 USD plus shipping.
The exchange rate makes purchasing from the States a little expensive, though.

Do the Safety Function Test.
Yeah, I got the Boyds c/w handguard a few years ago. I was able to transfer all the hardware onto the Boyds (except for the front sling swivel-- I out-sourced that.
It was delivered on time and looks good--very much 'new military'. Aside from a bit of minor fitting work, it was a drop-in. I needed to thin out the rear part of the handguard just a bit to allow it to seat properly, and also to sand a bit off where the bottom of the trigger group seats onto the underside of the stock (sand the wood, not the metal part).
NB Be absolutely certain that the reassembled weapon passes the Safety Function Test by holding the trigger back while you charge the rifle.
Once the bolt is returned to battery, release the trigger. You must hear a 'click'. Then press the trigger again. If the hammer does not release...that means the sear has failed to catch the hammer at the top of its travel, and it's followed the bolt until it struck the firing pin.
This is a dangerous condition which may result in a round (or more) being discharged unexpectedly. This is often caused when the trigger group is not seated properly. That's why it is important that you sand that area of the stock. There is an optimum amount of tolerance there--too little is dangerous, yet too much is sloppy, so work slowly and perform the Function Test often until it's...just...perfect.
