Current paratrooper M1 Carbine. Convert to full stock - kit?

[BBq_Woa!]

Hi all
I have an M1 carbine in a paratrooper config (with the folding stock)

It's neat but I'd like to convert it to a standard full stock build.

Is there a go-to shop/site where I can order a full wood stock set (along with any and all metal pieces that are also needed which the rifle currently may not have)?

Thanks for any suggestions!

Vulcan Gun Refinishing in Maidstone Ont, (Windsor) He has Many stock sets and all the parts
Or shoot me a PM. I have a complete stock set here. I am also in Hamilton
There is also another guy here on CGN (greenoliver1) that has one listed for sale on the EE

Why. If it's and original M1 A1 I wouldn't alter it. Devalues the gun. If it's a reproduction model different story

It's a repro, yes. I'm not an animal.

I think the paratrooper stock is super cool
I bought a repro stock years ago and put it on my usgi m1 and I love it

You can buy a stock from Numrich and have it shipped to your door— coming from the US is not an issue. That’s probably the cheapest way.

Look for a Plainfield m1 stock
There was a lot of Plainfield m1 carbine’s sold in Canada

I have an AO repro paratrooper. Feels like a 4x4 fence post on the pistol grip.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a new batch of AO carbines brought in, they're still NR

Will I just need the stock and handguard set?
Does my airborne have the metal etc needed? like for the full stock conversion are any metal parts needed or just the two wood pieces?

thanks for the recommendation!

I have a full wood stock and would love to trade for a paratrooper. If you’re interested we can swap pics via SMS. In Ontario.

You will need:
Butt Plate and Screw
Recoil Lug, Screw and Nut
Front Band Spring
An Oiler for sling attachment

Your paratrooper stock will have none of those.
I do not know if Numrich"s stock sets come with the parts or are stripped. You should contact them and find out for sure before ordering

Well, I guess that's a moot point now - thanks Mark!
