Is there a source for M1 Carbine barreled receivers ready to drop in an aftermarket paratrooper stock? Does CMP still sell stuff like this? Any trick to this process?

I would try to locate an M1 Carbine at a gun show with a real crappy stock and make a low offer. CMP does not sell that grade of M1 carbine. GunBroker also has nice carbines in bad wood that sell at a lower price.
Thanks Johnny. Went to CMP site. Sold out of barreled receivers. Will try the beater angle.
try Fulton Armory
If all you have (or are planning to get) is a reproduction paratrooper stock for this project you will need more than a barrelled receiver. You will need a complete carbine, less the standard M1/M2 stock. There is a difference. Second Johnny's advice.
