Funny how we drifted to my other pet peeve cropping up in the one line auction sites more and more: putting/having a $200 fake/reproduction stock on a beater, mix-master $500 m1, especially non inland, does not make it a $1200 carbine!

I actually found a high wood repro stock some years ago. Had Chuckindenver do the woodworking to deepen the cheekpiece recess on the left side. Also found a guy on Gunbroker who installed the correct leather and rivets. I put an Inland in the first run serial number range in it, with all parts correct for that period.

That looks very nice. Would love to have a repro that nice to house mine while the original is off for range use or for showing the rifle to others. Last time I showed it off in the original stock the guy almost dropped it deploying the stock.Quote:

I got rid of my last real M1A1 carbine in 1970. Folding stocks and M1 carbines are now banned in New Jersey. No grandfathering. Could have been registered an as "assault" weapon in 1990/91. :yikes:
The bans on hi-cap mags/folding stocks/etc. are ridiculous. Nowadays the jihadis/nutjobs/bangers don't bother to try to conceal anything and they will always have the hi-cap mags and weapons of their choice no matter what dumbass ban is in place for the rest of us. I got my only unmolested paratrooper from folks who were moving to Californistan and they couldn't own it there. It had been in their family for 70+ years.Quote:
