Rich,
Ironwood is good, however for the Classic G1 you need only wood buttstock and pistol grip. A good compormise is like what I have the FSE black polymer pistol grip. Get a set of those STG58 handguards and you'll only need one more US part if you use the Ironwood stock and or pistol grip. In such a case I'd recommend the Tapco US charging handle for about $30. That will offset the STG handguards. Then no need for the $50 buck FSE fire control group. You'll already have 2 parts in your mags. Just make sure you convert all your mags so you can't make an oops by sticking a US part free mag in the weapon.
