Thank you Jim,
There were a lot of tempting options out there, commercial guns like the modern Auto-ord, and the older Universals are very common, but I am glad I was able to hold out for a USGI one. The path to getting was kind of touch and go for a point, but it all worked out in the end. I agree about that repro-M1A1, the wood was flat, and had no depth to it, and shooting off a wire stock is not as nice as a proper one.
