I recently fixed the bolt on a Universal M1 Carbine (not original military issue). The guy decided he didn't want it any longer so I traded a .38 snubby for it. Took the stock off at the hand grip and attached a collapsible stock. Also dremeled finger slots so when shooting only the tip of the trigger finger pulls the trigger. Added a scope mount and have a 3x9x40 I use with it. I regularly hit coke cans at 200 yards with it. It makes a formidible home defense weapon with soft points and hollow points.

I also have a Rockola, original, everything but the trigger guard is Rockola; trigger guard is Underwood. No bayonet, but the lug is there. Every time I take that out at the range, folks want to hold it. A few actually want to shoot it. Once they run a 15 round mag through it, they want to buy it! I'm on the verge of selling it ... I really don't need to own a $2000 rifle. But yeah, these are sweet shootin' little rifles. Close quarters combat rifles to replace the 1911 .45 is what they were designed for, and they do just fine in that regard.

Forgot to add that I painted the new stock on the universal ... black. Bwahahahaha, just to drive liberals crazy about the ‘evil black assault rifles’. It does look good that way though

You have the same two as me.

Be careful the universal can shoot out of breach.
That was my first firearm. Its a good shooter.
