Best you send that whole rifle to me, stock and all. I'll give you a tea cup that I'm fairly fond of for it.
IIRC the Enforcer was a pistol version of the carbine. The stock in the photo is collapsible. From the photo it looks as if the carbine has a longer than standard barrel. If the barrel is over 18 1/2", and oal collapsed over 26", then the rig is non-restricted.
It's an aftermarket stock (well made) that became available in the early 70s, I don't remember the name offhand, but if you look at the left side of the inletting, by the receiver ring you will find a notch for the M2 full auto switch. They were never cheap stocks, and were uncomfortable to shoot, but it made the rifle easy to store and use in confined quarters. bearhunter
"...then the rig is non-restricted..." Non-prohibited. Carbines are restricted by name and have been since 1978.
That's definitely an aftermarket pretend para-stock.
Issue parts will fit into Plainfields. Gunparts lists the Op slide spring at $4.80 US.
The Enforcer was a big pistol made by Plainfield then Universal or Iver Johnson. I forget which. It's prohibited.

The M-1 carbine is restricted on the basis of barrel length. It is not restricted by name like the AR-15. An M-1 carbine with a barrel over 18 1/2" in length, and over 26" long over all is non-restricted. That magazine is no doubt a 5/30, of course.

Not quite correct, only the AR-15 is restricted by name, M1 carbines are restricted by barrel length. This one has a 19" non-restricted barrel on it and the collasped length is 29" OAL which clears the 26" rule by 3". So this is a big ugly non-restricted M1 carbine with an Enforcer stock.
