AK Realsteel Furniture Modding Help

I'm looking for any information/experience on modifying realsteel AK furniture to an airsoft AK. The airsoft in question will most likely be a Kraken, because that's all I can get my hands on right now. I'm looking to put real AK74 plum polyamide furniture on it (if I can find it).

The handguards don't look to be too much work. The stock is really the big deal for me, because if the handguard and grip can't be done I can always get the Dboys ones. So my questions are:
-Would it be better to get a milled or stamped receiver version stock?
-Is the stock hollow?
-Is the grip hollow?
-Can anyone source me a set actual of Soviet furniture, or do I have to go replica?
-Has this, or anything like this, been done?

Sorry to be such a bothersome n00b.

Thanks,
Gabe

why not just get airsoft replica furniture, looks exaclty the same but doesnt need all the work, and would probably be cheaper

They're called priorities. Get yourself some.

A real steel pistol grip will not fit. The motor cage from the AEG is just too large to fit, even with much modification.

A real steel stock can be modified to fit. You need one for a milled reciever, not a stamped reciever, IIRC.

A real steel forestock is an easy fit. 10 mins with a dremel.

I would if I could, but one makes Plum AK74 stocks for airsoft.

Thanks, that covers everything. Looks like Dboys grip and RS handguard and stock. The grip shouldn't matter much (except for pr0n, but I can't photograph for shit ATM) if the colour is off because I should have my hand on it 95% of the time. If I don't, I'm probably using the gun wrong.

EDIT: Forgot to ask if there is anyone in the GTA who could perform the modifications for me, I may not have the tools nor the abilities.
