I like mine, but the wood is not very pretty. That's an interesting thought about replacing the wood... Joe, I'll be very interested in your project. If I'm not out of line asking, what would a ballpark $ and time be for an upgrade? If asking is rude, I apologize in advance. People who don't like Rugers won't like them, but it seems like a lot of gun for the money (I paid $1800 new at a local store) to me, even with "blah" wood.
Thanks.
