You might try what I did with a Universal m1Carbine after I rebuilt the bolt using heat treated Iver Johnson parts. I cu tthe shoulder stock off at the grip, then used a hole saw to cut a place to slip in a collapsible Plastic stock. Works great and looks good after I painted it all black and put the action back in. Out to 200 yards, it’s quite accurate ... scoped of course, my old eyes don’t see things well that far off.
My first rifle/carbine was a Universal M1 carbine.
It’s a good shooter even if it is a Universal.
I still have it and its still original
Bought it for $125 new.
The nice thing about those prices is that you arent scared to try modifications.
I always make my mods reversible though.
