Do not buy a Universal M1 carbine...there is a reason they are so cheap to get.....they are pure junk.
Here in the people’s republic of MA we will wave pictures of assault rifles at the bad guys.
Most of the stuff mentioned here cannot be purchased here. And getting ammo through the mail? Good luck finding someone who will ship here.
And the only way we will get thirty round magazines is if we carry three of them at once.
I hate this state.
Friend, once I finish replacing the non-heat treated bolt parts and remove a 1/64” off the trigger guard end of the rod(s) for the slide spring(s), to allow the bolt to be closed snug, and apply the occasional weld to the slide crack, the Universal is a very bang worthy gun.
