Please pardon my confusion, topaz, I figured that the carbine in the M1A1stock was the rebuild (wrong stock for original, late sights, type III hammer) and the one with the dogleg hammer and early sights to be closer to original, as-issued configuration.
Interestingly, his is the second QH variant I've seen recently that wore an M1A1 stock. The stock on the one I was considering purchasing has rebuild marks but the carbine itself appears to be original configuration so it's obvious that it was put in that stock by someone other than the US Gov't. Still a nice carbine, here's a link to that thread: https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=33266
BTW, is the extra chisel staking of the flip sight pin something peculiar to UN-Quality?
Below are a couple pix of the sight on the QH I mentioned and there is no such staking.
Until examination of the pix provided by topaz, I had never noticed that UN-Quality carbines only have one op slide dismount notch, similar to NPM. Thanks for all those pix, topaz!
