"Subjectively" and "Hypothetically" .. if I were wanting to buy it.. and it was a decent price, not some over zealous jacked up price and cost me my first child and a kidney price. I'd buy it, refurb or not, matching or not. But, I'm one of the few people thats not a numbers driven person.. if my Cintas pants move when I see it.... I'm getting it. GG sells off alot of stuff.. then sellers remorse and the addiction kicks in.. just one more..
For me, given a choice between a laminate and birch stock, where neither is original, it would be purely aesthetics; which one looks better to my eyes.
I'd keep the force matched stock over an any non-serialized or mismatched stock.A force matched stock is still-- technically -- "matched" to the rifle by the Soviets. Whereas a blank stock suggests non-arsenal (post import) handiwork.

Whereas a blank stock suggests non-arsenal (post import) handiwork.I thought that at first too BB, then I reread and came to the conclusion that both stocks are foreign to the gun:I think the hardwood stock has XX'd numbers in addition to having the final stamped S/N non-matching to the receiver (i.e. a replacement stock off another Russian SKS45, installed here in the states). Is this correct GG?

Is this correct GG? Yes, that is correct RM. Neither stock goes to the action. One is scrubbed and the other is off of another 1950 Tula.
Okay, well that's a wrinkle. Now I'd go with the mismatched '50 stock for the '50 gun.
