I've wondered about the possibility of buying a genuine PPSH41 wooden stock and transferring the Hudson model metalwork over to give a better looking modelgun.

In Poland PPSh stocks appear occasionally (once every 2-3 months). Prices range from 20$ (replica) to 50-80$ (original). Original AK stocks are much more common, priced 8-15$.
Shipping to UK (as pretty much anywhere else those days) is quite expensive though, about 50$ :-/

you would have to modify the steel bracket at the back of the Hudson receiver...worse than this though is that the hudson lower trig assy is 16mm wide and the real one is 20mm wide so the hudson part would flop about in the PPSH woodwork.
Of course all of these things can be overcome with metal / woodwork but it may be easier to refinish your hudson stock

Thanks very much Doc, it just goes to show that even though these replicas are superb copies of the real thing in most respects, there are some big differences. If the Hudson woodwork can be refinished to look as good as the real ones then you're most likely quite right, it would be easier

Now that has got me thinking about the possibility even more....
