Gold plating on a military rifle is a bold choice. This Universal Firearms M1 Carbine has a gold-tone finish on the barrel, receiver, trigger guard, and magazine, with a polished walnut stock. The seller calls it a limited edition.

It is a semi-automatic in .30 Carbine with an 18.5 inch barrel and a detachable magazine, listed at 10 rounds. Sights are a rear aperture and a front post, the same layout as the original military carbine.

Collectors who want a showpiece and shooters who want something different may both appeal. Because it is gold plated, handle it with care and avoid abrasive cleaning. Compare the photos with the notes for any wear on the plating. Wipe it down after every outing and it will reward you with years of service.

Sold as described, with the wear and condition stated above. Nothing is dressed up. Choose an FFL dealer near you at checkout; we ship the rifle there and your dealer runs the background check at transfer. Give the photos a slow look at full size; they show finish and wear better than any paragraph can.
