Is it at all possible to convert a Mauser K98 8x57JS to a 8x68S rifle? If so, how much work (read $$) would it take? Also, is 8x68S ammo available / easy to reload?

So I broke down and bought a Yugo M70B1 AK today. It felt and looked better than the Egyptian & Romanian models next to it by far. Let me know what you think about the Yugo AK's. The wood furniture is rough and unfinished. Any suggestions on how I could put a better (weather resistant)...

Is $400 a good price for a Romanian AK? Also, are they as durable and reliable as other AK's?

How big a problem do moisture and humidity really pose to wood rifle stocks? I realize wood will warp, but if I take good care of my rifle, how much do I really have to worry?
