- Today on Classic Gun Reviews I do a review of the Choate Polymer side folding stock for the US M1 .30 Caliber Carbine. This fits the US WWII military M1 carbine.
* Note: I forgot to mention that the Length of Pull (LOP) is 13.8 inches.
I am a Vietnam vet I have an M1 carbine,it’s my defensive rifle ,I depend on to protect my family and myself,I love it.
Those Choate stocks are great. The one for the Mini-14 is excellent. The folding stock is solid, and doesn't jiggle at all. When it's locked in either position, it stays. No play or movement. Enjoyable video!
Thank you! I appreciate the nice comment. I had an early Mini-14 that had a choate on it and like you said very stable platform and much cheaper by far than the Ruger folding stock.
@@ClassicGunReviews Life sucks because I have a Mini14 - 180 Ranch series and I can't find a tactical stock and limited to the 5 rnd. mag it came with... I really want to modernize her with a poly tac stock and 20 - 30 rnd mags...
I love my Iver Johnson from the 80's. They built her to military specs... not so much like other after-market models. I went a picked up the Choate and changed the iron sights with a HUD/laser sight combo
That's great that the Choate fit on your Iver Johnson, sounds like a nice setup.
Whats Hud Combo?
Iver Johnson is the second Owner of Plainfield Machine Company
I actually Bought a Primary Arms ACSS Cyclops.
But I put Iron sights on m1 .
Once you figure out 250 is 300 yards center of gap between 250 and 300
is 400 yards .
and 300 yard mark is 500 yards right on the money.
I am having trouble blocking my iron sights lol.
@@alonzahanks1182 A simple hologram/laser dot, sighted to no more than 100 yards. My idea is to use her as a close-quarters tactical sidearm... think MP5 in an Urban setting.
I got one and love it. I had to do a little fitting so while I had the dremel out I removed the webbing in the butt. It looks way cooler like that, but after I did it, I realized it's probably there to prevent snagging. I've never had that as a problem but can see where it could happen in brush
I still love mine.. so much easier to operate with the pistol grip stock than the original wood one.
Nice ham radio set-up. And thanks for the video. I’m gonna buy one.
Also bought one, Israeli surplus well used but still in very good condition they are stronger than the original paratrooper WW2 collapsible stock
Congrats owning one of those Israeli surplus guns, they're great. Yes these stocks are very strong and rugged. I really like mine since I got it.
I got one roo bro dressed my m1 in it fitted it with green laser
Beautiful m1 carbine 😮
I have a chotes 5 position stock on my m1 carbine. I love it makes it look like a mini m1a EBR.
Lots of people think it ruins the carbine, but it literally just drops in just like the wooded stock. Plus, it holds zero much better with the chotes stock.
If ammo wasn't so expensive, I'd shoot my carbine every week.
Sounds great... same here, one of my most favorite rifles to shoot.
I like the folding stock and the pistol grip. It would be nice if there's a shorter barrel like the Uzi and a 30 round magazine.
I purchased a Auto Ordnance that came with a Choate stock from the factory. It was the only available M1 at the time
Very well built, super solid and perfect lock up. However the length of pull is a little to long for me.
That's good to know about the Auto Ordnance fitting in the Choate stock, it must be close to mil-spec I would think. Too bad about the LOP is long for you, the AO should be a drop in fit in a walnut stock if you don't mind the wood.
My friend has a transferable m2 carbine with that stock on it. Its pretty awesome and way fun to shoot. Id love to find a M1 carbine that isnt collectible but reliable and well made so i can shoot it willy nilly. Not sure if id go for this stock but I think Choate makes a semi pistol grip stock as well that follows the lines of the original but in black plastic. Either way thats a cool M1 carbine. Thanks for showing it.
Your welcome.. thanks for checking it out.
Wow, shooting an M2 that must be fun with it's low recoil. I think you're describing the Choats Sporting stock, it's a good stock too reminiscent of the polymer Ruger Mini-14 stock.. both very ergonomic for me.
Looks nice. Way better than the ruger 9mm
Very nice but wish it had a picatinny rail. God bless, have fun, stay safe and healthy and have a great New Year!😁
Yes that would be nice.. like ultimak style built in. I want to put a flashlight on it so I wish it had a small side rail. I'm thinking of drilling holes for screws and mount my own small rail for the light.. I think it will work since it's solid strong polymer and not hollow.
Happy New Year too !
I assume that gadget that’s counting roman numerals on the wall is a clock? That’s cool. Never seen that before.
Hi Shawn.. yes! I'ts a Roman numeral clock, I bought this on ebay over 15 years ago and has been running ever since. I love this clock and never had seen another like it. It sets by tilting the right side up and it makes the LEDs count up faster and faster depending on how high an angle you go and lower it to slow it down and stop. No buttons anywhere. Runs on 110vac. Keeps good time. I've had this clock on many of my ham radio videos and this is the first time anyone has mentioned it!
Nice. I've been trying to replace a stock that was broken in late 80s so far not liking the 2 I've found.
I like Choate stocks, strong and they fit me very well.
Had a Choate nonfolder on it fir years however the stock flexed with minimal pressure at the forend. Very unreliable if you squeeze the forend. Have a folder on it now that I don't know the manufacturer of, Lucy goosey is what we call her now.
Very interesting stock,do they make something similar for mini 14?
Hi... Yes, they make the same model for the Mini-14.
@@ClassicGunReviews I think mini 14 with this stock will be excellent truck gun.
does this stock allow you to mount the ultimak rail?
I haven't tried the Ultimak rail on it, but no reason it shouldn't fit since the Ultimak doesn't take any more room than the wooden or synthetic handguard. It sure would be a nice addition to the M1.
Bonjour pensais vous quelle peut s'adapter sur la usm1 erma 22lr normalement c'est la réplique exacte merci très bonne vidéo
Bonjour, j'ai pour habitude d'avoir une Erma M1 en .22 magnum, excellente arme fun.
Je vais deviner et dire non... mais c'est possible. Parcourez Internet pour l'info, peut-être que quelqu'un l'a essayé.
Merci, bonne question.
Who is the manufacturer of this rifle model, not the stock?
The M1 was made by Universal 1st year of production around 1962-63 with many military surplus parts and milled receiver.
@@ClassicGunReviews thank you!
That's how mines dressed with green laser under barrel
Nice.... those green lasers are very bright, sounds like a nice setup.
@Classic Gun Reviews it is bro but now I have to hide ot from the trudeau gov.
That what the israeli police carry from the 80's to 2009 m before they sold all the m1 carbine back to the U.S and went with the M4 carbine instead. The israeli police carry usgi m1 carbine with the coation folding tactical stock with 3 15rd mag on them.
That's cool that mine is setup the same way as the Israeli police.. I have 3 loaded mags with mine also. I wish I had one of those surplus Israeli M1s!!
