Universal .30 carbine first model

I have an early Universal Carbine that I bought back in the early 1970s. As best I could tell back then, it contained all GI parts, including the stock. It ran 100% for me back then, and I haven't shot it since. I also have an Inland Carbine that I purchased before the Universal one. It has the flat bolt where the Universal has the later round bolt.
