My son turned 18 and is away at college. He’s always wanted an m1 carbine.
I acquired a Plainfield m1 with a paratrooper type stock that I would like to gift him for Christmas .
I’m looking to swap it with a GI type stock. Doesn’t have to be original and I’m willing to do some finish/refinish work if necessary.

Where is a good place to find a replacement GI type stock?

I’m also looking for an original type sling/oiler as well as a magazine pouch for the stock.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

J&G sales has lots of cheap surplus stocks that can be restored easily.

Thank you.
I had already ordered a repro beechwood stock from Sarco.

I see that J&G has USGI magazines.
Are they worth the extra cost vs. the KCI ones, or other manufacturers?

The surplus magazines are generally better.  These are new production, made in US & to date I’ve had no issues:

I ordered 1/2 dozen 15 and 1/2 dozen 30 round mags and they do work well and they are far cheaper then finding and buying GOOD USGI mags.
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

I'm getting down to the last box, the others have all been destroyed...

Report back with how they work for you.  I ordered some RTI M1 Carbines and will need magazines soon.
