I think so too, given what you've done so far at this point in life.
Find a niche you enjoy and pursue it. As far as milsurps, it seems all the after market stocks are sporter versions or synthetic. Not to many original replacements out there for some of the less common, or recent additions on the market. Sure, you can replace a Mosin stock with another milsurp stock, but what if you want to keep it wood, but with something exotic, or not saturated in cosmo? Personally, I'd like to find a new Lee Enfield stock set. I do think there is a market for Original style stocks for the milsurps, but with an upgrade of some sort. Some people want to make their "cheap" milsurps unique in some way that doesn't necessarily mean making it tacticool. Maybe it means some modernizing, but keeping it wooden and giving a nod to the original.
Be sure to make good choices when you're being stupid...
