[QUOTE="okietom, post: 2254376, member: 18710"] Thanks for the info on your carbine Des547. Things I have read about the Auto Ordnance led me to think they are mil-spec. That doesn't matter much to me as the one I have is considered the worst copy you can have and it has fed great. Universal has the worst rep of all copies. A lot of companies made copies of the carbines and would buy GI parts which were available cheap and make the rest of the parts. If you know what you are looking for there are some Universals that are mostly made with used GI parts and the rest of the parts ARE mil-spec. I got the one I have from a friend that needed money and I got it cheap. For what was wrong with it I could not believe the 2-3 inche groups I could shoot. It had a bent barrel and rear sight. My friend was up front about it. I looked for years for a new barrel even though it would hit what I aimed at after I mounted a scope and bent the mount enough. I found a new barrel finally. I would be happy with an Auto Ordnance after reading your opinion of them. It isn't in the top spot on my list of guns I will buy next but it is on the list. [/QUOTE]
