I just picked up an M1 Carbine(plainfield machine) and I'm wondering where I can get a folding stock for it. I would also like to get some USGI Magazines for it as well.

Choate Machine & Tool (www.riflestock.com) sells a folder for the M1 Carbine which should fit your Plainfield. If you want a replica of the USGI M1A1 folder try Sarco or Numrich.

Either Sarco or Numrich should have GI mags, too. The 15 rounders will be the most reliable.
 
I've heard that about 15 rounders are more reliable then the 30's.

I'm looking for a folding stock that will make the carbine short enough to fit into a backpack.

Go for the original. :)
 
The choate model is a good quality folding stock but they aren't cheap. If you really need a folding stock, buy a quality one and it'll hold up for a long time. If you can, try to actually hold the one you're going to buy. Different brands vary greatly in comfort. The choate stocks have been comfortable in my experience.
 
15 and 30 round mags

FYI
The 15 round mags where primary made for the semiauto M1 while the 30 round mags where made for the selective fire M2 and M3s . They came with a different magrelease whitch included a support for the longer and heavier 30r mag.
M1s supplied with a M2 magrelease will be more reliable. ;)

S :cool:
 
Ok how much shorter will the rifle be? The reason I'm asking is I don't have a car and use a bike to go to the (handgun only)range. I firgure when I find a rifle range I can put the folded carbine in a backpack.

how about a scabbard? :evil:

Just wondering, does any one know where one could fine an M2 mag release? I've always wanted an M1 Carbine, and now that Wolf in manufacturing .30 Carbine, I may have to get one.
 
Does anyone know if the sarco folding stock fit the Kahr/Auto Ordinance reproduction M1 carbines?
