I didn't want to go authentic, so I bought an Auto Ordnance replica M1 Carbine instead of a USGI. The price was right, the carbine shoots well, but the birch stock really looks wrong. I mean WRONG! So, a colleague at work told me he had put a synthetic stock on his USGI carbine and offered his old stock to me. He wasn't sure it would fit because he gave it to someone else and it wouldn't fit this other guy's receiver. Well, perhaps that guy has a Universal because... Well, check it out! It fits great. Now, don't you agree about that birchwood stock I got with the carbine? Love the original, which has the letters SA on the inside. Hmmmm... I assume Springfield Armory.
Just had to share my happiness!
