I recently acquired an ACC/INTRAC RPM Maadi and wanted to get advice/opinions from the pros.

It is partially spray painted green and the paint is not in great condition. There is also a lot of overspray inside the receiver.
Question #1 - Can I strip the green without stripping what is under it? Is it worth it to go to the work to strip the overspray off of the internals?

It has a cheesey pistol grip on it. What is a good affordable replacement? It seems like Egyptian furniture is expensive or unavailable.

The handguards appear to be incorrect as well. These are solid wood, not laminated.

The barrel is threaded and has a thread protector. I was thinking of putting on a slant brake or other device,,, suggestions?

It does not have a cleaning rod with it. Are these available somewhere?  Seems like everything I find is for 16".

Any input/info is appreciated. I've been through all the posts in the "Egyptian" section and quite a few in the AK section.  This is my first AK but I did have an SKS and have an AR with an extra 6.5 upper.  Having an AR and an AK,,,,,, does that mean I'm "bi-gun-ual"?
