Hi, folks. A lady friend has been looking for a home defence carbine, and has found a Universal M1 Carbine in a local gunshop for $299. She's planning on buying it.
I've heard various opinions that the Universals are NOT "good" carbines, using non-GI-spec. parts, and that they're hard to repair if something goes wrong. On the other hand, some folks have told me that they're just fine, and that they seldom go wrong.
Does anyone have any experience or information about these carbines? If so, please post.
Many thanks.
