I’m quite pleased with the one I got in a trade for a .38 snubby. I had to repair the bolt and that’s when I put the Iver Johnson complete bolt on it. If you decide to put a pistol grip collapsible stock on it, I’ll be glad to help. Don’t know if the scope mounts are still available from numerich, but it is a good addition and doesn’t get in the way. Universals after the GI parts were used up came with dual springs. That’s the way I check if it is after GI or not. At $200 you cannot go wrong. Iver Johnson parts fit the after GI models.
I’ll put a few 100 rounds through the Universal, and if it works, I probably won’t change anything. We’ll have to see how it shoots. I probably will keep it with iron sights adn the regular full stock. Just keep it real cheap and simple as an extra home defense carbine.
