I wish it was. It looks like a wire hanger. The stock has two holes that it slides into. I have seen Youtube videos where the wood cracks at that spot. It isnt a very well thought out affair
The cool thing it that is has a pistol grip on the forestock

[mylife]

Yes.

They weren’t as widely produced.

[mylife]

Oh! It will open a car door!

There’s going to be glass on the seat but it will open a car door LoL

[Yorlik803]

I think so. there wasnt a lot made and most went to RTOs in Airborne units.
I wish he would sell me his “Tanker Garand”A shorten version on the full size Garand. But he isnt going to part with that one

[deoetdoctrinae]

Like this?

[mylife]

I wish you had a picture.

That sounds unlike anything I have ever seen on an M1 carbine.

Anyone else seen this configuration?

[mylife]

Well, that’s unique! I have never seen that.

[deoetdoctrinae]

Here's a better shot.

[davetex]

My Universal is just a plain vanilla wood stock.

[TASMANIANRED]

Day late and a dollar short..but I’m in.

[Yorlik803]

BINGO..give that man a cigar.

[mylife]

I bet that’s a universal variant

And while Universals aren’t the real deal, I bet its pretty rare

[mylife]

See #45

[mylife]

What’s the gunsamerica listed price?

[deoetdoctrinae]

I found that in a very old ad, but I think it listed for $525.

[mylife]

Thanks

[deoetdoctrinae]

Well, I'd better kiss the dogs good night, and take the wife outside to pee. Wait a minute, that ain't right! OK, dogs outside, kiss wife. I got it now.

Anyway, have a good evenin' everybody.

[mylife]

My first gun was a universal carbine.
I still have it and it still shoots fine.

I paid $150 brand new.

I checked it for firing out of breach and it’s fine

Yorlick803, if that is a universal you still have a good deal, but they aren’t 100% parts swappable with GI M1 carbines and there was a time that they were made when they could fire out of breach.
Universal fixed the problem but they never recovered from law suits.
Iver Johnhson carried on and now I believe Auto ordnance is the existing core of the old Universal co

[mylife]

Have a great week.

[mylife]

2 carbines, 8, 30 round mags and 500 rounds of ammo.

You’re looking at like $1200 easy if its all in working order
