Mystery Stock and Handguard

[USGI]

Without looking it up, I think the Korean returns started in the late 80's or early 90's sometime. My understanding is the Korean military had their own sources for replacement stocks and a few were on the returned guns. Blue Sky Productions, Arlington Ordnance , and seems like there were others that imported M1 Carbines and M1 Rifles during that time period. I'll see if I can find an example of a Korean stock on eBay for comparison. - Bob

Added Later:

There's several similar stocks on eBay right now with that type wood. Interarms has a couple of new ones. Here's a link to a handguard that's likely Korean - look closely at the grain of the wood:
