Is anyone making reproduction stocks for the M1 carbine?
That depends on what you are looking for. Standard stocks? not many to be found. Originals particularly M2s are very common and not particularly expensive. Plastic? Yes, lots are out there in several styles, both straight and folding. Wood and metal telescoping? Yes, several types are available, but you have to search for them.
Dupage sells reproduction stocks, thought they were made by Boyds.

Do a bit of research on those before ordering. Some have complained of poor fit and suggest they're actually Boyds' seconds. :( - BobQuote:

On other side of the coin a new piece of wood is nearly guaranteed to not give problems. Hard to expect 70+ year old wood to be trouble free especially with an unknown care history. It's easy enough to put on fresh wood for a range session and then replace the old dried out matching stock for display.
