AK grip on an M1 Carbine.

[Duron219]

Can it be done? I have the crazy idea of putting an Ak grip onto my M1 Carbine. I want to do it just to see if it can be done and how well it'll work. I'm going to try to do it with as little modifications to the stock as possible.

I suppose you could always just thread a part of the M1 stock and run the AK pistol grip bolt into it. Did this to a .22 for the heck of it once. Might not be very comfortablet though, don't have a carbine to see for myself.

 

[Duron219]

The carbine does have a screw that goes from behind the stock and down behind the trigger guard, so I'm thinking about using it there

Your guns your choice.

But please tell me your not gonna Bubba a genuine WWII Carbine, and as such destroy it's value both historically and monetarily.

Kahr or aftermarket go for it.

I would never do that, it's a Universal and I'm not going to do anything to screw up the rifle or do any damage. I will shape the AK grip if I have to in order to make it fit. That's all I plan and want to do

You could get a wooden paratrooper folding stock with the wood grip and see if there is a way to combine the two.

I want to do that but the trigger housings on Universal M1 Carbines are larger than USGI Carbines and I'll have to do alot of work to make it fit

Was getting ready to PM you and if it was a USGI stock. Universal.... go for it! Or, get a paratrooper folding stock for it

I wouldn't do it...but I have put them on Mosins

 

[Steelman]

It exists in a smaller package than you are looking for - the Iver Johnson "Enforcer".

How did it work out for you?

I know about them and i'd like to get one to go along with my rifle.


The grip won't be a permanent thing, just something to do as a fun little project.

Worked out Great!

That is sacrilegious and besides WW2 era guns don't need Gucci'd up! They are guns for Men just the way they are!

It's a Universal made between '65-'66, I would never do something to ruin a WW2 weapon or anything else for that matter that has historical significance. I'm not going to ruin the rifle or stock. there is a screw in the stock that runs from behind the receiver, through the stock and comes out behind the trigger and I plan on replacing that screw with a longer one so I can attach the grip. I may have to do some work on the grip to make it fit but that is all I plan on doing. It isn't going to stay on the rifle permanently, its just something that I want to try.

Why not get something like this?

M-1 Carbine Folding Stock : FOLDING PISTOL GRIP STOCK | Brownells

I've thought about getting one for mine and just hanging onto the furniture. If I ever want it to be stock I can just swap it back.

Na, Nothing sacrilegious about messing up a foriegn gun. That don't bother me a bit

Nice job on the Mosins, those are the only weapons that I don't care if someone does something like that to them.

I have but like I said before my M1 is a Universal and the trigger housing is wider and may not work with that stock.
