Mac. it's a personal taste issue. I could not be happier than with the factory synthetics. They are functional, zero maintaince, and nicely formed. At the same time, I can't look at a gunsmithing problem without seeing solutions. I'm not gonna buy one of these stocks, but I like this approach. This guy seems to be getting the basic stuff down, keeping his prices reasonable, and leaving enough extra wood to work with. His pistol grip butt design is far superior to the butt ugly factory design and could be made even nicer with a little rasp work. He ain't claiming to sell drop-ins or 98% finished, just giving you a good start on the job.
