I have an SKS-M and am considering staining the stock black and topping that with a flat poly. I like the original stock but hate the blonde color of the wood and dont want a tapco.
 
I got the itch to change my SKS and did the following.

Went to a gun show. Spent $5 dollars on a SKS stock. did everything I wanted to it, had fun, used it for a while, got sick of it, put original back on and was glad I didnt to it to the original stock.

I suggest getting a replacement wood stock to play with and keep the original one.........original. No harm, no foul!
 
Ohio Guy has some sound advice.

Don't mess up the original, buy another stock that you can hack, paint, stain, etc. and won't harm the value of your rifle.
 
you could try taking a spare stock and stripping it, and staining it walnut or something. I've never been satisfied with a black or gray stains. I did an OD green and a cherry red that look ok. on 10/22's anyway.
