A friend of mine has an Inland M1 Carbine that has an aftermarket folding paratrooper style stock. He would like to return the rifle to its original condition; how can you tell if that includes a folding stock or a regular full length stock, and are there originals out there?

Thanks for your help.

Do the Ebay thing

Try "Gun List", "Shotgun News" first so that pro gun companies are supported first.

There's one on Gunbroker but it's a little spendy

check Orion 7, he has a lot of carbine parts

Thanks RJH -
Bookmarked for period check.

The DCM in Anniston, Ala. rebuilds Garands, 03s, and Carbines, and others.

I don't know if the sell parts or not, but it might be a good place to check.

They are pricey, but have great product. Good folks from the information on the CMP forums. Old Doug

There was a guy walking around the gunshow yesterday with a complete rifle and an extra stock, go figger.
