This is a fine reproduction of the WWII M1A1 paratrooper stock. Comes complete with handguard.
A folding-stock version of the carbine, the M1A1, was developed after a request for a compact and light infantry arm for airborne troops. The Inland Division of General Motors manufactured 140,000 of them in two product runs in late 1942. They were originally issued to the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions but were later issued to all U.S. Army Airborne units and the U.S. Marine Corps. The folding-stock M1A1 is an unusual design in that the stock is not locked in the open or closed position, but is instead held in place by a spring-loaded cam.
Colors of wood and metal may vary from picture.
Please note: Stock DOES NOT include barrel retaining spring.
Will NOT fit M1 Universal Carbines.
Some minor fitting may be required.

so so
looks like a last ditch jap product the detent spring lock is wearing after a dozen or so open-close cycle so it is no longer tight even tho it snaps into place sharp edges and top grip doesnt line up properly due to riveted plate being offset

Folding stock m1 carbine
Fit perfect and looks just like the original
-
well built-with one exception-the holder for the issue oiler behind the leather pad is too big and as a clamp type device will not hold the oiler-other than that its good except the original m1a1 had a two rivet handguard
see above under review subject

Ship fast. Looks good.

Quality not up to par
It looks great but function so-so. The folding stock doesn’t stay lock in when in extended mode and easily collapses. I haven’t fired the rifle yet but have concerns that it will collapse when firing. The hand guard did not align very well at all. I had to do a lot of manipulating to get it to align properly. Given the price of the product, I’m very disappointed.
