If one will work slowly and with care, I think that it would not be a big issue. Just don't get aggressive in applying the bondo/filler and get it as smooth as possible before starting to sand to maintain the shape. Less is always better IMO :)
I'm curious how much is involved in finishing a Stockade Money Saver stock...especially for someone who has no experience with fillers (ie. me).
Considering the $100+ savings between it and a finished stock, I'm thinking it'd be worth a few hours of time investment for finishing & painting...

It's very easy. You only need a small amount. I put a little bit in the seams and a few little bubble spots.
Then I covered it with a heavy textured paint. Then several heavy coats of satin poly. Between the two of those, the little amount of bondo work I did was a waste of time.
