Can you guys out there own this?

[AR22]

I was thinking of listing this Plainfield M1 Carbine retractable stock here for sale. But is it legal to own in CA? It was made around probably 1968..Thanks

Legal to own the stock. Can't install it without also installing some kind of mag lock, and not many want to do that on their M1 Carbine, unless it's a crappy Universal.

Edit: there's no reason you can't sell it in California. The legal onus is on the guy who buys it and what he does with it.

It will fit a GI Carbine, but is actually for a Plainfield aftermarket Carbine.

So there is no Grandfathered clause about anything made before a certain Date? Likely not, but I ask as I surely do not know..

Have been gone from there over 20 years now..

I have actually been toying with the thought of trying to fit a .22 rimfire action in it just for something different. Would not want to modify anything permanently though, but I think I could do it with some sort of wood inserts made to fit in the stock, and the action of the donor .22 rifle adapted to the insert. They are hard to find and pretty rare..

If the M1 Carbine is a registered assault weapon, registered before 2000, it could legally be fitted with that stock. But the only reason anyone would have registered an M1 Carbine as an assault weapon is because it already had a paratrooper or similar stock, so it's unlikely they'd want your stock as well.

Thanks, does not look like there would be much use listing it here.

The picture is a stock. An m1 carbine is a real gun.

I beleve the M1 Carbines were never included on the semi auto ban list
I think it is considered as a relic: Here's the assault weapon ban list!

Banned by features detachable mag with pistol grip with that stock and may not meet min length.

An M1 Carbine with a paratrooper stock (or the stock in the OP's photo) would be an assault weapon in California.

The stock as is is legal as can be in Ca.

May as well list it here. A curio guy or someone with plans to move after retirement may well want it.

Go ahead and sell it here. The buyer will have to "pin" the stock and put a mag lock on his receiver, but someone will want it.

Listed it for sale in the parts section..Thanks
