text: 10yrs ago I was given a Universal M1 carbine copy. They were civilian reproductions that started in the 60s. Well I don’t know how this dipshit did it but he backed his truck over it and destroyed the butt stock. Since Universal was a civilian copy a regular M1 carbine stock will not fit and can’t be modified. The rest of the Gun was in good shape and I don’t throw away anything I can fix. I though it over and came up with an idea. I built a side folding stock and added a hand grip. Since I made the stock out of aluminum it’s still quite light weight. It is still fun to shoot and I play with it now and then. I am sending a pic tell me what you think
