There is wood.
And there is wood.
You are obviously a wood virgin.
When it comes to the M1A, I have to say go wood. That said, I purchased a brand new M1A last year, and while the wood stock is beautiful, it is not 100% finished. I think it needs at least a final sanding and some sealing, which I'm comfortable doing myself. That aside, for a classic style rifle like this one, I just can't see putting anything but wood on them. Just my humble 2 pesos.

Do you have to worry about it cracking the wood stock at all? I'm not intending it to be a safe queen but I just have a couple dehumidifiers in safe. I guess I need to buy a hygrometer gauge.

Now you see that's a problem stock. And is is sure to warp from drool if you keep showing it.

Considering rifles like the SKS, AK-47, M1 Garand, M14, etc had wooden stocks you'd think you would hear about that kind of issue by now. Wooden stocks are much more stronger and durable than people think. And when treated properly, can handle wet environments pretty well.Do you have to worry about it cracking the wood stock at all?
