I would not recommend acquiring or fabricating a stock for your carbine. Since it did not start out life as a carbine, it is technically illegal to attach a stock. You would have to install a much longer barrel, as John Martz does for his carbines, in order to comply with BATF rules on stocked firearms. Enjoy it the way it is, for it is a neat gun. Thanks for the additional photos. Now the artisan that created it is now known (C. Miller). The Marble front sight shows up well in the photos. Sometime when you get the chance, you might want to push out the forearm retaining wedge and check out the inside of the forearm for that auxiliary spring assembly that I mentioned. That feature is found in the 1902 carbines, but was probably engineering overkill as I understand it was eliminated in the 1920 carbines (I donâ??t know for sure as I have never owned a 1920).
