I found some additional photos of the CAR-15 butt stock that I restored back in 2013, The stock came from the Rock Island salvage yard (along with some nice green butt stocks) long time ago.
I did install the stock on a Colt SP1 semi auto manufactured in 1974. Barrel has a welded extension. I made the triangular handguards. I understand the army considered this type of sliding stock too complicated. Attachment 133239Attachment 133240Attachment 133241

You will note the early waffle magazines too. photos from "Black rRfle book"

One of these little guns is in the Ft Lewis museum. When I was there with my last rifle platoon doing a tour aside from duty the curator tried to tell us a made in Japan non gun was the scarce and rare gun in the museum...while I pointed this little gem out to my guys. Seldom seen little SMGs.
Unfortunately, I must have missed that particular rifle when I toured the museum, although I've got a picture of myself manning the twin .50 in the flexible mount. I was mainly there to get photos and measurements for a buddy restoring a M15 Combination Gun Motor carriage he had retrieved from an old logger in the Okanogan valley who had used it as a skidder.Quote:
