It's been sitting in the safe for about a year. I figured I'd get around to making it pretty one of these days. Any suggestions? None of the "SVD type" stocks seem to fit due to the squared off receiver (or at least I don't know of any).

I can't say for sure, but maybe one of the 2 stocks on bottom will fit your gun at this link.
I think either of those will. If I remember correctly the square back veprs fit any AK size buttstock. I'd go for that Tiger Maple, and stain it a deep red or something. Maybe do something like this post here. As for the hand guard, you could probably dye that also as is to see what it looks like, and maybe even rework it to look more like an SVD. If you fail at that possibly just buy some wood that fits better already with holes, and throw that on their. Another option is to do the above with the buttstock, and then get an aluminum/metal style front rail like the following.  The other option you could do for the buttstock is get an M4 to AR adapter such as rifle dynamics. It's $65 here. And throw any m4 stock on it you want such as a magpul CTR if that's what you like.  I believe this is what that would look like here.  |

Since it's been in your safe for a year, I say put it back in for a few more.
Don't modify it at all. |

Personally, I would stain the stock and hand guard with a deep, cherry stain.
I did it on my converted Saiga -74 and love it. |

I personally like the 54r VEPRs with wood on them instead of polymer and AR stocks.
Stain the handguard for sure, probably the stock too. Looks like that might be a bit rough, so maybe clean it up and make it nice. |

Works great and looks way better than the rough factory parts it came with. The AR style stocks look good and are very functional as well. May go that route someday. |
