Replacing the handguard wood on an SKS isn't as easy as twisting an AK handguard in. You need to remove one of the retainers and reinstall. Its a pain in the ass but if you're patient and are decent with your hands it can be done successfully.

FWIW the rifle is fine all on its own the way it comes to you. There really isn't a need for fancy sights or stocks. Next to the AK47 its probably 2nd when it comes to military rifles still in use today in original configuration.
